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 |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
