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:
I don’t get it how do they have that power? just because they say sorry you are not allowed to own a weapon doesn’t mean it legal, it’s actually ILLEGAL and a violation of our Cons$#%&!@*utional right!
That’s because veterans took an oath to protect America and the cons$#%&!@*ution from all enemies both foreign and domestic , so if they let them keep their guns some might just make a stand against all of the current liberal/communist bullsh#@! going on. . . .
they cant take what the cant find and they cant get them if you dont just hand them over, make it very costly on their end to commit treason and Oath breaking felonies, Oath breakers are expendable
this is wrong wrong wrong.
no one in this govt can eliminate any amendment especially the bill of rights no american needs anyones permission to excersize their second amendment rights not can anyone take it awya either by majoritarian legislation or decree or some licensed doctors decision
“Demanding to know”???> What a joke. You really think Eric Holder gives a $#%&!@* or will TELL Gr$#%&!@*ley ANYTHING?????? You really believe that????
our vets do not give up their guns!!!! never did.
Wish one of those vets would “share” some ammunition with Holder & hs cohort.
All they will do is force good American;s to buy guns like the thugs do illegal and it can be done so like Obama’s biggest support undo$#%&!@*ented
Apparently, being a veteran that knows how to use guns is now considered a bad thing…
