House Passes Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act

HR-1181 is a Bill which fixes the Obama regs which have been used by the VA to strip veterans' gun rights by a VA counselor/bureaucrat when they trick the veteran into signing up for a fiduciary alternate (self-declaring themselves a mental incompetent). Up to 260,000 vets had lost their constitutional RKBA without any Due Process; and HR-1181 fixes that problem.

The House passed it 240-175.

Now on to the Senate.

The only thing I'll say in their defense -- and it isn't even any better -- is this: maybe they didn't even read it. Maybe they just voted by party.

I can't over-emphasize that point -- it isn't any better.

Intentional destruction is worse than careless destruction, at least according to our legal system.

If Dems cared about individual rights even a tiny bit, they would have voted for it in the House.

After all, the Bill doesn't eliminate the VA's power to seek to strip an individual veteran's gun rights; instead the VA would have to show evidence to a Judge or Magistrate and convince the court that the individual is truly mentally incompetent. The Bill restores Due Process rights for a veteran to contest mental incompetence assertions.

Anti-gun people in the VA may not like the change because it takes away their ability to fill out a single sheet of paper (uncontested) and take away a veteran's gun rights for life.

Since almost all Dems in the House voted against the Bill, one can only assume that they are anti-Due Process, and anti-good governance.
