Major Update on Vet’s Standoff Against GOV’s Attempt to Confiscate Guns

[FULL TITLE] Major Update on Vet’s Standoff Against GOV’s Attempt to Confiscate Guns — Here is Why a Sheriff and 2 State Reps are Standing With Him (And ALL Veterans Should be on High Alert) UPDATED WITH VIDEO

Yesterday we posted a chilling story about how the VA is actively attempting to confiscate guns. This isn’t just headlines with no proof. This is real story with overwhelming evidence the Obama VA is working to disarm Americans.

For those who don’t know what happened, last week a county Sheriff, two state reps and about 100 local citizens caused a VA inspector to cancel plans to confiscate a veteran’s firearms in Priest River, Idaho. The story confirms what we’ve been reporting for several months now. That the Obama administration is moving to disarm millions of social security recipients and veterans by deeming them incompetent to own a firearm.

At the time of yesterday’s post we reported information that was posted by other media outlets. And at the time very little information was available. It was thought that the veteran had checked a box in his paperwork telling the VA that he had help filing his financial paperwork and this is why the VA “ruled” he wasn’t competent to own guns. This may still partially be the case. We’re working to confirm this part and get more information to report.

But what we now know is one of the state representatives who rallied at the veteran’s home to block the gun confiscation, Heather Scott, read a letter from the VA confirming the confiscation was indeed planned. She posted about it on her Facebook page, a post that prompted the rally to defend the man’s rights.

Just like when Hitler started his “domestic program” - he tested to see if the public would stand up for their liberties - or stand by while he stripped them away from them. It’s perhaps s miracle the local sheriff is guarding this fellow from obama’s SS

This is mighty serious on a number of different levels, not the least of which an American veteran’s CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS is not only being infringed, it’s being yanked away.

Just as troubling, there are (presumably) American citizens intentionally violating the Constitution.

I’ll say the same thing I did the other day.

I don’t hear of veterans being big gun problems across the nation.

Why single them out.

How about stripping gangs of their weapons? How about doing something that will actually save lives?

So ‘Our Government’ will put people that it deems ‘incompetent’ in jail? What an enlightened Administration.

They are being singled out because it is a place to start. The government was not expecting any commotion about it.

If youre old and collecting social security, yeah.

It is total bs. We have no epidemics of old people doing anything dangerous to others with firearms. Total bs move.

I wish our flag officers had some nuts and removed this bastard foreigner from office by his ankles.

That could be true. It’s all they need for an excuse alright.

This will quickly become a Republican talking point if our candidates are worth their salt.

Because veterans are more likely to e conservative, and thus political enemies.

“Why single them out.”

Veterans are trained to use their weapons to kill human life forms that are enemies of our nation. Veterans took an oath to protect our Nation’s Constitution. Veterans are a threat to the “cartel”, the “cabal”, the Marxist scum that have apparently taken control of our government, and as so many of our Veterans need the VA services they are easy prey for the power hungry Left manipulating the government today.

That’s how I see it.

Why single them out.

Weakness, inability to defend themselves against the govt - especially in today's tear to disarm the country - they don't need the guns anyway. . . .

That’s not bad either. I like the responses I’m getting.

I’m sure the government doesn’t think they need them.

Safe bet there.
