Democrat lawmakers in the House signed a joint letter suggesting infringements on certain veterans’ Second Amendment Rights because of a “mentally incompetent” diagnosis from Veterans Affairs (VA) rating agencies. The current regulation regarding VA pensions, 38 CFR 3.353, defines “mentally incompetent” as “A…person is one who because of injury or disease lacks the mental capacity to contract or to manage his or her own affairs, including disbursement of funds without limitation.”
The “official determination” of mental incompetency is made by the VA rating agencies, who have “sole authority” in making such a determination. According to the regulation, the determination is made for purposes of insurance and disbursement of benefits. This regulation does not address “determinations of insanity,” as that is the very next code, 38 CFR 3.354, and not a subject of the bill’s amendment.

Should not have a gun.
“mentally incompetent” ?????
Wow……Congress gaslighting again.
Haters gonna hate.
If I remember this case, there was no differentiation between truly mentally incompetent and “let me sign something so my kids can handle the finances”. This wouldn’t be an issue if the VA allowed a normal power of attorney.
Democrats and RINOs wouldn’t be doing half of what they’ve been doing to destroy this country if they weren’t sure that had a great election fraud scheme going.

I think I see a problem.
Just one more reason why I refuse to have anything to do with the VA.
