DISARMING VETERANS



The following is an excerpt from an examiner.com article I read earlier. This report is found on numerous web sites with slightly different wording and different authors:

On Thursday, Michael Connelly, J.D., executive director of the United States Justice Foundation​, said that veterans are receiving letters informing them that the government is about to declare them incompetent to handle their own affairs. As a result, Connelly said, the government will "appoint a stranger" to handle their affairs at their expense, and restrict them from owning firearms. Worse yet, he says, this is being done without due process.
“A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Pub.L.No. 103-159, as implemented at 18, United States Code 924(a)(2),” the letter reportedly says.

Here’s the deal. I don’t really know if this is factual or if it from some conspiracy theory group. I have read of other cases where veterans have been asked if they own firearms while visiting VA centers. What I do believe is that in today’s political climate things like this are possible. I personally put nothing past our present leadership in this country. I do believe our nation’s leaders sense the unrest in this nation and have let their paranoia kick in.

I am really open to debate on this matter and would love to hear from anyone that has had this happen to them.
