ATF Works With FBI And VA To Get Veterans’ Guns Taken Away

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is involved in a government effort to disarm America’s veterans and seniors who may lack the capacity to manage their finances.

And it’s not just veterans facing this scrutiny: now it’s anybody who gets Social Security.

New documents obtained by The Daily Caller reveal that ATF, a division of the Department of Justice, is working with the FBI and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to enter veterans who get VA benefits into the government’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

TheDC first reported on a government program in which the VA sends veterans’ medical information to the FBI to disarm them. VA uses sneaky criteria to get veterans on the list for “persons prohibited under federal law from receiving or possessing firearms.” (RELATED: Daily Caller Reveals Secret VA-FBI Coordination).

Gun confiscation has begun, and all we are doing is allowing it.

"Just wait until we get a majority in both houses..."

that is what John Cornyn said...

The reason’s Trump’s numbers are so high is he’s willing to stand up... it’s either ‘stand up’ or ‘sit down and get numbered’...

Try, ATF, and make sure you bring your own body bag for your sorry ars. You will need them.

They will never learn.

I am looking forward to seeing him in the debates. I have a feeling he will push the rest of the field into either standing or sitting and being numbered as well. I'm a Cruz voter, and will stay so, and I believe that Cruz will also stand, and be much more eloquent about it. But there's no denying that, with this many in the race, Trump will be a factor in showing us who these guys really are.

Anybody who’s offered a “free” Medicare screening, a I was a couple of years ago, is an absolute fool to accept the offer.

Good gal, just not enough “country” in her...roughing it for her is a 5th wheeler at a minimum...sigh.

She’s only spent 2 nights in a tent and she was basically forced to do that since the girls she was chaperoning/supervising were out car camping at a park...

Me? Backpacking/hiking is the norm...I can get into the woods and hunker down quite easily.

Roger that.

They worry about home grown “lone gunmen”.

They better start worrying about home grown “fire teams” that know their terrain.

That is what they are starting RIGHT NOW!!!!

Keep it up....

LOL! They keep reminding me that I’m overdue for certain “free” medical procedures/exams. Guess I’ll continue to be overdue. No doubt they’ll try to find some way to coerce folks into “taking advantage” of these opportunities. Possibly declare you mentally unstable because “Who would turn down free stuff?”

Conveniences are too convenient. There is free cheese in a mouse trap. Same with people traps...that A/C and not walking everywhere is far too convenient, and comes with too many strings/traps. And people, in general, suck.
