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"? |

| The right of the people to keep and bear arms has been recognized by the General Government; but the best security of that right after all is, the military spirit, that taste for martial exercises, which has always distinguished the free citizens of these States....Such men form the best barrier to the liberties of America — Gazette of the United States, October 14, 1789. |
