This video details a significant victory for veterans' Second Amendment rights, spearheaded by Gun Owners of America (GOA). The Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, supported by GOA and passed via Amendment #35 to H.R. 4366, aims to prevent the VA from automatically disarming veterans by assigning them a fiduciary. The VA's previous fiduciary rule, established under the Clinton Administration, unconstitutionally categorized veterans needing financial assistance as mentally deficient, leading to their inclusion in the NICS system as prohibited persons without due process. This legislation corrects a disparate treatment where non-veterans with fiduciaries are not similarly penalized.
