A legal team investigating the Obama administration’s order that certain American military veterans deemed “incompetent” give up their weapons says the problem is worse than expected.
People who live with veterans now are being ordered not to possess a gun, and some veterans are told they can “buy back” their Second Amendment rights by giving up their veterans’ benefits.
“This is simply unbelievable, On the one hand the [Veterans Administration] and the FBI have found veterans to be mentally ill and too dangerous to be allowed to own firearms, while on the other hand allowing these allegedly dangerous people to buy their firearms rights back,” wrote Michael Connelly, executive director of the United States Justice Foundation in a report.
“This is illegal and is called extortion.”
The organization has been looking into claims by a number of veterans and their family members.
The veterans were sent a letter telling them they were being classified as incompetent and the government was assigning someone to help them handle their benefits and payments.
Consequently, they were told, they could no longer own weapons, under penalty of fines and jail time.
The problem was that the veterans were being determined guilty without a hearing regarding the potential loss of their constitutional rights, USJF said at the time.
Snip
“But [they] are being told that if they do defy the government and appeal, their benefit payments can be suspended for the duration of the appeal, which can drag on for years,” the report said.
“The families of veterans are also [being] told that since they live with a veteran who has been declared incompetent they can’t own or purchase firearms.”
Or there’s that option to give up benefits, the report said.

Minnesota is getting very heavy handed with those questionnaires. It has gotten to the point where I no longer recognize any professional license from that state.

very nice quote!!
I refused to sigh that explaining to the nurse that If I choose not to participate it means I am not going have anything to do with them asking non medical questions....
the best government is one that is wary of its population. the best way for them to be warry is not knowing who has a gun at home.
******
thank you for standing your ground!
absolutely correct. They will not be limited in just those that receive benefits either, because we all know the saying..”First they came for”.... and so on. They will not be satisfied until all guns are gone and they have complete control
questioner -> questionnaire
If “incompetence” is the criterion then every Democrat in the country should be disarmed immediately.
From one of the comments at the site, this has been proved to be a hoax...

I just took the $12 check from the VA and cashed it. Then I went to the VA and payed them $12 plus the $1.89 late fee. Not the fires time this has happened. One messed up outfit.
I don't. I was born with certain inalienable rights. The government or anyone else can make the attempt to take them from me, but it will be a cold day in hell when I surrender them without a fight.
Disgust PING
I’ve seen enormously long lists of medical groups that lobbied for and contributed to gun control campaigns. Medical schools of various kinds (especially nursing schools) are injected full of feminist and homo-activist doctrine by women’s studies departments. That’s been going on for at least 30 years, probably more.
Active Duty ping.
“From my COLD DEAD HANDS”
“they are trying to do everything to disarm and kill as many as possible when the fight comes for law and order...”
I think not. Take a walk thru any federal agency and note the fat affirmative action squishes eating doughnuts at their desks. These federal jellyfish wouldn’t last two minutes on a battlefield. Any general ordered to take these 50 IQ apes into combat would be horrified.
If a doctor asks such a question, the reply should be a simple “No”.

Ben Weihrich posted a comment at that link, that explains it.
The key word to this is ADJUDICATED, declared by a court.
And check to see if he was declared incompetent by a court.
