But for many veterans, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is being stripped away by government bureaucrats. The Department of Veterans Affairs is arbitrarily denying Second Amendment rights to veterans who’ve appointed a fiduciary representative -because they’re deemed “mentally defective.” To be clear, no court has declared these veterans mentally incompetent. They’ve simply designated a family member or other representative to handle their fiduciary matters. Which is resulting in them being found mentally unfit to possess firearms. That’s wrong and ought to be illegal.
