it's coming...This Federal government is completely out of Constitutional control. I’ll say it: it’s time for the people to restore or replace it. But that can’t happen without a lot of blood, tears, and pain.
Yes! The country needs more of this!

Silly feds. That’s how the last revolution was started.
So if the person can’t manage their finances they lose their right to defend himself? That could be extended to half the population.
I am glad they are defending this veteran.
Where’s the impetus for these new measures?
How many vets have been out there abusing their gun rights?
This is such a trumped up B. S. attack on veterans gun rights.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?

Unreal.
There has to be a lot more to this.
What caused the letter to be sent?
What is this person’s mental condition?
I know in MA when someone is declared incompetent (not an easy thing to do) their ability to own firearms is suspended.
I also know that getting someone declared incompetent requires a lot more than “someone” suggesting the person might be crazy.
Methinks there is a lot more going here. the story is devoid of facts and horribly written.
Idaho Republican state Rep. Heather Scott of Blanchard said the Veteran Affairs office has sent a letter to John Arnold of Priest River warning him that he cannot possess or purchase firearms.
HMMMmmm...
Has he been DECLARED incompetent?
Currently, the Veterans Affairs Department can bar veterans from purchasing guns if they are declared incompetent. However, this authority has been criticized by Second Amendment advocates. Most recently, Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas proposed legislation that would require court action before barring gun purchases by veterans declared incompetent. "This does happen sometimes, where the VA sends out a letter," said Bryan Hult, veteran services officer for Bonner County. "Especially if a veteran has dementia ... and a fiduciary has to be appointed to manage finances like a pension and income. You wouldn't want that person to be in possession of a gun."
Wasn’t there another BS executive order that read something about if your taking disability from VA or Social Security and had another person handling your finances etc..due your inability to do such yourself ..... no firearms.
A quote from the story ......
“””Obama plans to extend gun background checks to Social Security. The administration will use the same strategy they use to confiscate guns from veterans who have others handle their financial affairs only this will affect a massive 4.2 million Americans. An inability to balance a checkbook could get them banned from owning a gun”””
Recent info I believe. Wonder if he got that letter ?
Damn Obama ...
It’s been my opinion for a while that our best hope is for States/Governors/Sheriffs to put their feet down and tell the Feds and Courts where to stuff it, with willingness to get physical, whenever the “law” ignores the Constitution.
Any decent state should seize every opportunity to reject federal funds for any reason, especially if the federal funds are basically cynaide pills. If the feds want to shove those cynaide pills down Idaho’s throat, Idaho should shove them right back.
The state legislature needs to fear both democratic and non-democratic measures. A dollar for highway maintenance is not worth it if that dollar requires self-mutilation and the proliferation of criminals.
Currently, the Veterans Affairs Department can bar veterans from purchasing guns if they are declared incompetent.
Get a court order. The executive must be reined in. Let his inability to be trusted with a weapon be proven.
it's coming...Good for the People of Idaho.
Stand against Tyranny in every form
Civil Disobedience on every corner by everyone.
If that does not stop it....TO ARMS MY BROTHERS
Among them were Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler
KEY ASPECT OF THIS. The local (elected) constabulary is standing up to federal authorities. Without this, you’re just a bunch of rabble that the feds can mow down as illegitimate.
If they can, without court review, declare someone incompetent and go to their home and take anything they define as a threat (to their unopposed fiat rule), then the Constitution is no longer defining a rule of law with fealty to said Constitution. The people of America are now getting the ‘government’ they deserve because of their inattention to the responsibility to be the sovereigns. The federal hydra is now the sovereign.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.
I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

You’re doing it right!
