Veterans Gun Seizure Hoax Debunked…Somewhat (updated)
Over 550,000 Americans can’t own firearms because of “mental incompetence.” 21% of those are veterans.
Editor: A note I think is needed; the article below will describe a “dual system” for establishing broad mental disability, enough to deny weapons rights. It is very important that veterans carefully review this article in its entirety. If veterans avoid needed care because of misinformation or the very real threat outlined below, it would not only be a disaster but one that groups like the American Enterprise Institute wish to bring about. This article isn’t the “end all,” but a sign that veterans need to remain vigilant in maintaining their rights.
Stories about “new letters” or a “new law” are total bunk. The law that authorizes gun seizures for those “adjudicated mentally ill” was passed in 1997 but nothing was said about it for over 15 years. The law that is “in force” is the same one every gun owner in America is subject to, the question that is on every weapons background check and has been for many years.
Why bring it up now, why lie about it? Why victimize veterans with vicious scares and rumor mongering?
