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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
