I am a Marine Corps combat veteran and a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. I was shocked and disappointed to receive an email message from the VFW asking me to contact my congressional representatives in support of HR 1181, a bill pompously titled "The Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act."
This bill does nothing to protect veterans; quite the opposite. Our disabled veterans who are incapable of managing their own affairs are in a category identified by the Department of Veterans Affairs as being our most vulnerable. These poor souls are the most likely to harm themselves or someone else. |

| This man believes he speaks for veterans. Thus he should be denied due process since he is obviously showing symptoms of delusions of grandeur. This is a dangerous mental disorder. Thus should be on the no guns list. |

This article is chock full of the typical anti-gun lies being regurgitated by all the likely suspects.
All this bill would do is to require, PER 5TH AMENDMENT DUE PROCESS COMMANDS, that before a vet's rights can be suspended or denied a court of competent jurisdiction must rule that s/he is a danger to him/herself or others, AFTER AN ADVERSARIAL HEARING during which rebuttal evidence can be presented.
You should be ashamed of yourself, Marine, first for lying, and second for being okay with vets having their right to arms arbitrarily removed without due process of law.
Whatever happened to "Honor, Code, Loyalty"? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
