The Second Amendment has been under attack for some time now in the united States, and there has been a relentless assault by the Obama administration at attacking the rights of the people to keep and bear arms. At the forefront of that attack has been America’s veterans, and according to a report, at least 260,000 veterans had their gun rights revoked by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs since December 2015.

Guns in the News reports:

Last December the VA started reporting thousands of veterans to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check system, which is responsible for determining whether or not a potential gun buyer is legally allowed to own a firearm.

Specifically, they’ve been reporting veterans who have a fiduciary trustee to act on their behalf for legal or financial matters. All veterans with this arrangement are being automatically declared “mentally defective” according to Guns.com, and are having their second amendment rights revoked. Over the past 4 months alone the VA has reported over 260,000 veterans to the NICS, which now accounts for 99% of all “mentally defective” claims to the database.

Of course, not all veterans with a fiduciary trustee are a danger to themselves or others, and unfortunately the VA hasn’t bothered to investigate any of these individuals to see if they should be reported. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa has been questioning the VA on this matter, and hopes to put a stop to it. “The very agency created to serve them (veterans) is jeopardizing their Second Amendment rights through an erroneous reading of gun regulations. The VA’s careless approach to our veterans’ constitutional rights is disgraceful.”

This is not new and doesn’t seem to be going away. In February, the National Rifle Association was attempting to discover which veterans this was happening to across the country.

It's time to put a stop to this background check non sense. It serves no real purpose other than to deny people their rights and gather a database of gun owners.

I'm mad enough to do something, I just don't know what to do!

Start by reading the explanation for question 11f given on the ATF form 4473. The answer WHY is right there: "(2) Lacks the mental capacity to contract or manage his own affairs." Now the only way to get it changed is to amend the law. SO contact your Congress Critters.

I disagree, neutered would imply that they at the very least, had balls at some point in their life.

This is the frog in the pot tactic. Fifty thousand here, 200 thousand there, and we just sit there in the water as it gets hotter and hotter while telling ourselves that we'll get out before it starts boiling. Frog stew anyone?
