"I do recall that Obama enacted regulations that would forbid some people on Social Security Disability from owning a gun.

Is that what this refers to?
"

It looks that way to me. The examples in the news before were PTSD cases involving old veterans. Employees of VA hospitals were reportedly putting some of them on the "prohibited" list. I must admit, though, that's not due process. The standard should be a judge's statement of mental incompetence after a proper mental evaluation (or whatever in legal terms--"adjudication").

” The examples in the news before were PTSD cases involving old veterans. “

This is also one of my concerns. After reading the article, it appears agencies have power equal to or greater than a court order classifying someone as too mentally incompetent to own a gun. I have read similar horror stories as the very people laying their lives on the line (vets) for their country having their guns taken away. What gratitude!!

I personally know a vet with PTSD that does not want it made formal by applying for VA benefits. Whatever amount he will lose in compensation is what he’s paying to keep his 2A rights. Talk about someone that feels totally screwed by the same country he defended.

And as this country is screwing vets like this left and right, more and more young men and women are sent off to new wars to be set up for the same screw job.
