How would you feel if you received a letter from the U.S. Government informing you that because of a physical or mental condition that the government says you have it is proposing to rule that you are incompetent to handle your own financial affairs? Suppose that letter also stated that the government is going to appoint a stranger to handle your affairs for you at your expense? That would certainly be scary enough but it gets worse.
What if that letter also stated: “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).”?
That makes is sound like something right from a documentary on a tyrannical dictatorship somewhere in the world. Yet, as I write this I have a copy of such a letter right in front of me. It is being sent by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of America’s heroes. In my capacity as Executive Director of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) I have been contacted by some of these veterans and the stories I am getting are appalling.

I have sent an email to the author of the original article and requested a copy of the letter. If he sends it I’ll post it, somehow.
At my VA we have to go through metal detectors and remove our belts as we are scanned and examined.
I also notice no Christian symbols or signs of it’s existence, but plenty of new age humanist posters and collections/symbols in individual offices, and I had to complain about one staff member Islamic Evangelist trying to convert me.
it is easy,
“What gun?”
No such thing as a fair fight.
Do you doubt the authenticity or just want to see the whole letter?
the only way the bastards exist is because they think honest people will remain honest.
Banglist
Yuppers.
There is a reason for that.
and the way the bastards cease to exist will be because they don't understand honest people will remain true
Even if you do, though, it shouldn’t nullify due process.

Unfortunately, you will have to have a few hundred thousand dollars laying around and a decade or so to fight your taxpayer funded lawyers! They won’t nullify due process, they’ll just make it a long and painful process.
I retired over 10 years ago and I’ve never been to the VA. Never will.

Always have to check your sources. I have a copy of the letter now, and if you want a copy of it all you have to do is email the gentlemen in question and he’ll send it to you, but he asked that I not post it here.
