Within the past week, Gun Owners of America received an e-mail from a member being treated by the VA (Department of Veterans Affairs). The member was also receiving Social Security benefits, and Social Security had appointed a guardian to manage his financial affairs.
The member wrote us because the VA, based on the Social Security guardian, was moving to take his guns away.
Although it is Standard Operating Procedure for the VA to appoint its own guardians and use this to justify its gun ban on more than 175,000 veterans, it now appears to us that the VA is searching for new “gun ban excuses” to strip even more veterans of their constitutional rights.
