SHOCK REPORT — Veterans Receive Letters From VA Prohibiting Ownership or Purchase of Firearms

This must be Barack Obama’s way of thanking our veterans for serving.
US veterans are receiving letters from the government informing them that they are disabled and not allowed to own, purchase or possess a firearm. If the veteran does decide to purchase a firearm he will by fined, imprisoned or both.

why did you leave out this part:

“A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Pub.L.No. 103-159, as implemented at 18, United States Code 924(a)(2).”?

it's too bad this can't apply to anyone in the US

I'd like to see 333 try to pass a mental competency evaluation

I didn't leave it out, I just posted the opening and LINKED to the whole piece.

Besides, apparently what is happening is they are sending these letters to regular vets, not mentally ill.

they may be sending them to all vets but it doesn't apply to all vets and it's just enforcing a law already in place since 1993

Enforcing existing laws is one of the primary arguments by pro-gun people (i.e. we don't need new laws until we first enforce existing laws)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_Handgun_Violence_Prevention_Act

Section 922(g) of the Brady Act prohibits certain persons from shipping or transporting any firearm in interstate or foreign commerce, or receiving any firearm which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, or possessing any firearm in or affecting commerce.

don't you dare try snd take my big penis gun away from me

If you are a vet wanting a disability check for a mental issue from serving why should they be allowed to own a gun?  They are jumping through a lot of hoops to say they have mental problems to get that check but they want to have guns too?
