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).

these are nothing more than pretext takings.
When Obama care began, my dr. Retired, haven’t been able to find a new one. Not thinking I want to these days. Thinking about going entirely of the grid. The wife is the only impediment.
LOL! You are in good company. Something about flush toilets or something.
Gun confiscation has begun, and all we are doing is allowing it. Because, productive members of society!
See? This is what causes all those boating accidents.
Anyone who has taken an aspirin will be disqualified.
Anyone who has had a cold is disqualified.
Anyone who bought a caffeinated drink is disqualified.
Anyone who has bought a sugary snack is disqualified.
You are not alone! If it weren't for my wife, I'd be disappeared at this point.
“these are nothing more than pretext takings.”
Confiscation comes first, no matter what the law or executive action, or constitutionality of the law or executive action. Of course, they’ll be long dead and never see their property or constitutional rights ever again.
This is not about guns.
This is about declaring opposition to the obamacrats a mental illness. (ala USSR)
Another executive (tyrannical) branch attack. It’s a good thing we have the legislative and judicial to counter this…oh, wait…
CONgre$$, Justus.
Check$ and Balance$ BUMP!
DISMANTLE VA, ATF. That so-called legislative branch could be part-time with 1/10th the pay and zero perks - no medical, retirement, etc., etc. Let the progressives do something productive. Stop looting. Get a job. Put a tether on the executive.
Anyone with church membership is disqualified
Anyone who is not part of the State controlled military is disqualified...
Go collect up weapons from vets? That sounds like an exciting way to spend a morning.
Yeah, she will stick with me if the ka-ka hits the fan, just not wanting premature roughing it.
All a joke today, Democrat dogmatic position tomorrow at sunup.
The Democrats better hope this doesn’t work because if it does, it lays the ground work to prohibit people on welfare and other Government programs from being eligible to vote.
So, keep this up ATF. You’re not doing yourselves any favors.
I understand, a lot of places to disappear to in this country.
