I
have seen this coming from this Marxist Communist Obama administration
for some time. This kind of information pushes hundreds of thousands of
veterans into our camp to stand against the tyranny taking place in
America by Comrade Marxist Obama. I have never denied that there is
going to be a civil war in America, of which, Obama and his commie goons
are setting up at this time. I have news for them... they will not
win. Just as the Marxist Jew controlled newspapers printed the names of
those who owned firearms, I know of at least 3 - 4 large groups who are
collecting names all across America of those who want to take our
personal firearms away from 'We the People'. So you see, it isn't going to be fun when the rabbit has the gun, especially for those who want to disarm America.

This is no bull.
Written By Constitutional Attorney Michael Connelly, J.D.
How would you feel if you received a letter from the U.S. Government
informing you that because of a physical or mental condition that the
government says you have it is proposing to rule that you are
incompetent to handle your own financial affairs? Suppose that letter
also stated that the government is going to appoint a stranger to handle
your affairs for you at your expense? That would certainly be scary
enough but it gets worse.
What if that letter also stated: “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).”?
That makes is sound like something right from a documentary on a
tyrannical dictatorship somewhere in the world. Yet, as I write this I
have a copy of such a letter right in front of me. It is being sent by
the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of America’s heroes. In my capacity as Executive Director of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) I have been contacted by some of these veterans and the stories I am getting are appalling.
The letter provides no specifics on the reasons for the proposed
finding of incompetency; just that is based on a determination by
someone in the VA. In every state in the United States no one can be
declared incompetent to administer their own affairs without due process
of law and that usually requires a judicial hearing with evidence being
offered to prove to a judge that the person is indeed incompetent. This
is a requirement of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that
states that no person shall “… be deprived of life, liberty, or property
without due process of law…”.
Obviously, the Department of Veterans Affairs can’t be bothered by
such impediments as the Constitution, particularly since they are
clearly pushing to fulfill one of Obama’s main goals, the disarming of
the American people. Janet Napolitano has already warned law enforcement
that some of the most dangerous among us are America’s heroes, our
veterans, and now according to this letter from the VA they can be
prohibited from buying or even possessing a firearm because of a
physical or mental disability.
Think about it, the men and women who have laid their lives on the
line to defend us and our Constitution are now having their own
Constitutional rights denied. There are no clear criteria for the VA to
declare a veteran incompetent. It can be the loss of a limb in combat, a
head injury, a diagnosis of PTSD, or even a soldier just telling
someone at the VA that he or she is depressed over the loss of a buddy
in combat. In none of these situations has the person been found to be a
danger to themselves or others. If that was the case than all of the
Americans who have suffered from PTSD following the loss of a loved one
or from being in a car accident would also have to be disqualified from
owning firearms. It would also mean that everyone who has ever been
depressed for any reason should be disarmed. In fact, many of the
veterans being deprived of their rights have no idea why it is
happening.
The answer seems to be it is simply because they are veterans. At the
USJF we intend to find the truth by filing a Freedom of Information Act
request to the Department of Veterans Affairs to force them to disclose
the criteria they are using to place veterans on the background check
list that keeps them from exercising their Second Amendment rights. Then
we will take whatever legal steps are necessary to protect our American
warriors.
The reality is that Obama will not get all of the gun control
measures he wants through Congress, and they wouldn’t be enough for him
anyway. He wants a totally disarmed America so there will be no
resistance to his plans to rob us of our nation (And to subject the masses to Communism). That means we have to
ask who will be next. If you are receiving a Social Security check will
you get one of these letters? Will the government declare that you are
incompetent because of your age and therefore banned from firearm
ownership. It certainly fits in with the philosophy and plans of the
Obama administration. It is also certain that our military veterans
don’t deserve this and neither do any other Americans.
