Now that I have your attention…
The new Defense Bill, which has a fight going due to the desire of a few politicians to, get this, protect Veterans’ rights by amending the bill.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, in all its glorious wisdom, believes in having the right to place the names of Veterans who are said to be of a certain mental state into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. This prevents anyone whose name is in the database from purchasing a firearm anywhere that conducts background checks. Furthermore, it prevents those who live under the same roof of that Veteran from owning or purchasing a firearm, as well.
There are several layers worth of stupid to peel back on this one.
This bill is wrong on so many levels…I don’t know where to start. So, basically if you serve your country for 20 years or more and get out under honorable conditions. And, oh by the way if you happened to get mentally damage during that time or financially unstable. Your country is going to label you as a felon…and take away you and your families constitutional right to purchase a firearm or right to be hired on a job that does background checks, because you are labeled as a felon. What the ****?
