These vets have 100% disability for mental disorders and have been adjudged by multiple doctors as incapable of receiving their own check and administering their own affairs. That is not true.
Many of these veterans were tricked into answering "yes" when asked if they wanted some "help" that a VA fiduciary could give them to "help" manage finances. If they answered in the affirmative, then their gun rights were taken away.

The answer is simple and clear. These vets have 100% disability for mental disorders and have been adjudged by multiple doctors as incapable of receiving their own check and administering their own affairs.
Do you want them to have guns?
And you know all this how????
Who are the doctors and what other agenda might they have? Does the VA pick them or does the patient/patient's family pick them? Did the VA and those working in conjunction with the VA decide it's just easier to go the fill disabled route than to actually treat them, then decide to cover their asses for lack of treatment?

A similar standard has been proposed by the Social Security Administration to strip gun rights from as many as 75,000 beneficiaries per year according to figures released by the White House in January. It takes a surprisingly small number of people to take over a country... Just put a few commie at the top...

Well that is patently untrue. They are disarming vets with nothing wrong with them. I know. (not me, but I’m not a vet either)
Just because it hasn’t happened to you or your buddies, it never has happened? snort!!
And everyone else’s experience is different than yours, yet you know all. Uh huh.

"They are disarming vets with nothing wrong with them."
Bullshit. VA is not disarming anyone.
But if they are being placed on the no-buy list, it's either because they are a certifiable head case, needing somebody else to administer their affairs, or they have fraudulently convinced the VA that is the case so they could increase their benefit payment.
But in NO CASE is VA disarming people with nothing wrong with them.
And, you cannot cite a single reference for such a claim.
