"This does happen sometimes, where the VA sends out a letter," said Bryan Hult, veteran services officer for Bonner County. "Especially if a veteran has dementia ... and a fiduciary has to be appointed to manage finances like a pension and income. You wouldn't want that person to be in possession of a gun."
But the problem is that the Constitution does not provide the federal government such authority. What does Mr. Hult not understand about "…shall not be infringed"? It isn't rocket science.
Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), instead of pressing the teeth of the Second Amendment into the necks of the bureaucrats attempting to usurp it, proposed legislation that would require court action before barring gun purchases by veterans declared incompetent. We don't need more laws Senator Cornyn. We need faithful men to uphold the law.
The people of the community should be applauded."
