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.”

I hope and pray this is not true.
one of the ways they do this is during an interview (psychological profile) which goes into a permanent medical record
Our POTUS doesn’t obey the laws why should I? I’ll keep my guns and to hell with the VA and Obama!
What better way to keep guns out of the hands of trained marksmen. Our militery Are trained to know how to defend America…. So King Obama needs veterent disarmed… so thy can not block his illegal take over of America.
Communism 101, talk about profiling, I’d trust a Veteran with a firearm before a lot of law officers.
Its not the VA , its the muslim administration !
Goood luck getting our guns away from us
This should never happen in America.My husband fought in Korea and slept in 40 degrees below zero weather for this country. You would have to pry his gun out of his dead hands.
This is unthinkable! They protect us and fight for our freedom and come “home” to have their freedoms taken from them? This is so VERY wrong and should be stopped!
$#%&!@*sm, Communism, or Dictatorship?
