Over 140 House Democrats Demand Ability to Block Veterans from Purchasing Guns
Breitbart ^ | 03/14/2023 | Awr Hawkins

More than 140 House Democrats are demanding that the ability to bar veterans from gun purchases/ownership under certain circumstances be added back to the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.

For decades, the VA has been reporting veterans to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for mental issues, and such issues include using a fiduciary to manage one’s VA benefits. But this year, the Clinton-area gun ban was rolled back in the Senate by an amendment put forward by Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA).

I had my annual VA Doc appointment today. Among other questions, I was asked if I could “manage my own financial affairs.”

“Why, yes, I can manage my own financial affairs.”

This wouldn’t even be an issue, except for the laws brought forth by John Cornyn and other liberal Republicans. In fact, I don’t think John Kennedy would be forcing this, if he actually thought it would pass. This sounds a lot like what “Republican“ Susan Collins has been trying to expand the reach of Cornyn’s Anti-gun bill.

Why would the D’s do things like this, unless The Fix Is In, yet again, this time with the ‘24 November general election?

As soon as they started these interrogations, I stopped the annual physical which consists of temp, bp, oximeter readout, weight height...all of which I know on a daily basis.

That's not a physical...

You mean we can’t buy more than 140 guns? At a time? Or combined over a couple of years, or a lifetime? Asking for a friend...

Two things;Veterans are more likely to be proficient with firearms.Can’t have that.
the other is,you must be (formerly)to be able to manage your checkbook.

Commies can’t have people able to defend themselves.Why is
being bad in math reason to be deprived of gun ownership.

Half of the people graduating HS aren’t math proficient.

This is not how the U.S. Government is supposed to work. Those dickheads work for us. We are not their slaves and they are not our massahs. I think the time has come for us to remind those dipschitz of that.

Liberals know that veterans will be prominent and proficieant in the shooting if it starts.

I’m a Vet. They ask me all kinds of ‘questions’ every year when I have my ‘mandatory’ physical to ‘keep’ MY EARNED BENEFITS!

Do I own any firearms? Of course not! My WORD! Who do you think I AM? I threw down my weaponry the MINUTE I was off the Battlefield! Grenades, too! WHY would I need a firearms at HOME? That’s for cops and active military! :)

Do I feel safe at home? Absolutely! (I really do.) *HEART*

How often do you consume alcohol? In public? Never! ;)

Vets aren’t stupid. And we’ve already got all the firearms and ammo we’ll need for the coming ‘Undeclared Conflict’ that Mother Government is DETERMINED to inflict upon us.

As I said; We’re Not Stupid.

Of course, as a Navy submarine veteran, I’m so glad I do not have PTSD and of course I’m so glad I do not have any guns, of course.

And the jokes on them! I never could manage my financial affairs! Ahh ha ha ha haaaa!

I have never been asked by VA doctors if I own firearms. I have been asked if I feel safe at home, if I have enough to eat. That is basically it.
