Senator Charles E. Grassley (R-IA) recently sent Eric Holder a letter when he was Attorney General demanding to know why the VA has been placing veterans on a federal gun ban list – labeling them as “mentally defective”.
Grassley wrote, “The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is effectively a national gun ban list and placement on the list precludes the ownership and possession of firearms. According to the Congressional Research Service, as of June 1, 2012, 99.3% of all names reported to the NICS list’s “mental defective” category were provided by the Veterans Administration (VA) even though reporting requirements apply to all federal agencies. 1 And that percentage remained virtually unchanged as of April 2013.2 Given the numbers, it is essential to ensure that the process by which the VA reports names to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for placement on the NICS list recognizes and protects the fundamental nature of veterans’ rights under the Second Amendment.”
MOVE TO PAGE 2:
holder knows that these people know how and when to use their weapons. going after them first.
Probably due to their mental condition, afterall their benefits are being cut and the healthcare is also a big problem. Then again, it may be just another Republican scandal with nothing to it.
Ah, the gun huggers, running around screeching before they find out what this is about.
Because it’s unacceptable to guard your rights and be vigilant against those that seek to take them away from us.
I really wish people like you would have your own opinions about your first amendment rights so that we didn’t have to listen to the horseshit that comes out off your mouth.
Which is pretty much true. As usual.
