As ironic as it sounds, the Obama administration’s Department of Veterans Affairs is actually working to disarm veterans with an insane policy that treats America’s warriors as threats.
As reported by The Daily Caller, the VA is assisting in the disarming process by ensuring veterans are placed on the FBI’s criminal background check list. The VA transmits veterans’ personal medical and financial information directly to both the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which can then seize veterans’ guns in their homes.
The Daily Caller further reported:
Veterans deemed mentally incompetent or financially incapable are finally speaking out about the errors in the system and the fearful harassment they and their families face from the federal government. And it all starts when vets go to the VA to get medical help.
The news site’s investigation found that VA medical information is being used (misused?) to ensure that veterans are no longer able to possess a firearm.
The DC was able to obtain a “MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS AND THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE NATIONAL INSTANT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM.”
That document, which was dated Feb. 27, 2012, makes it crystal clear that the VA has to send health information to the bureau so it can populate its firearms background check list.
“VA will provide an encrypted compact disc exchanged via mail to the FBI no less than quarterly for, inter alia, inclusion in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS),” the memo reads.
“I’m a felon?”
