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.”

The vA work for ANTICHRIST………..there no Christains up there ,anymore…………………GOD bless are Veterans.
This is ABSOLUTE BULL$#%&!@*!

The absolute gall of some fools..How dare they!!!.
I went into the Cincinnati VA claims meeting to ask for help with my Vietnam related disabilities. I went in with a spotless criminal record. no history of violence or suicide ideation, a lifetime CC permit, and no legal representation or criminal charges or miranda warning… They not only denied my claim, but ruled me financially incompetent and took my 2nd amendment cons$#%&!@*utional rights away for life without. I must have made a mistake in asking VA for my deserved benefits. I became a victim of their drny, delay, and destroy claims process. Welcome home, indeed. I am on the criminal list and the stigma of my sevice and a deranged gun owner was placed solidly on me if I undergo a criminal background check to purchase a gun or have to p$#%&!@* an employment FBI screen. Reform the VA now please.
