GOA has actively fought against these policies from the Clinton administration through Biden, advocating for legislation like the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many veterans have been disarmed by the federal government using the NICS system?

The federal government has arbitrarily disarmed over 250,000 veterans using the NICS background check system. This often stems from how fiduciary appointments for VA benefits are interpreted.

What is the primary reason veterans are disarmed through the VA and NICS?

A key reason is that when a bureaucrat appoints a fiduciary to handle a veteran's VA benefits, the federal government can treat this as an adjudication of mental defect, thus prohibiting firearm ownership.

What legislative efforts has Gun Owners of America (GOA) pursued regarding veteran gun rights?

GOA has fought against VA gun bans and advocated for the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, which aims to prevent bureaucratic decisions from impacting veterans' gun rights based on fiduciary appointments.

How did the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 affect veterans' gun rights?

This act, dubbed the 'Veterans Disarmament Act' by GOA, helped the VA codify its practice of using fiduciary appointments for veterans' finances as grounds for firearm prohibition, treating them as if they were adjudicated mentally defective.
