“Report: Vets may be deemed incompetent without due process, cannot own firearms”... and vets with such illnesses as PTSD will not be able to get law enforcement, fire dept. jobs etc.
Here’s a site that ran the story http://redflagnews.com/headlines/disarming-americas-heros-veterans-receiving-official-letters-prohibiting-them-from-purchasing-possessing-receiving-or-transporting-a-firearm-or-ammunition. If you look at the PDF file at the bottom of the story, it shows a letter sent to a Vet in Oregon dated 20 Dec 2012. I had to laugh when I saw this because the VA Team manager who signed this has had quite a few of his teams disability rating decisions overturned at the Federal Level. There is another story at Red Flag News that can be found by going to the site home page that talks of a growing support for a class action lawsuit. Hope this helps.
I recently spoke to a Marine back from Afganistan.
He said the VA docs were very aggressive in trying to diagnose him with PTSD. They kept trying to find some reason to diagnose him despite his assurances that he did not have nightmares, felt no emotional turmoil, etc.
I know this particular guy very well. He came back totally unfazed and unaffected by his combat experience. In fact, he told me he enjoyed his time hunting talibunnies as any red blooded American warrior would.
Look people, this is not a conspiracy theory, it is an obvious POLICY and strategy of the Maladministration.
YES, they are trying to use PTSD as an excuse to take away Second Amendment rights and to obtain control over the vet’s finances.
I wonder who they will appoint as steward of the poor, disabled vet? Could it possibly be a dim getting fat on his percentage?
This group of veterans fought at the food court at SF downtown mall, [there are no confirmed account of who threw the first cannoli] in the first known engagement it is noteworthy that the of 1st Hair Dresser Battalion the 69th LGBT division stood proud ignoring that they had been penetrated and took everything thrown at them unflinchingly; ... You Go Boys!!!
Saw it being discussed early this morning on Fox.
