DEMOCRATS SEEK TO WAGE AN ILLEGAL WAR ON VETERANS

Shot in the Back: Congress Seeks to Limit 2nd Amendment Rights of War Veterans

  


President Obama’s second term hasn’t even started and he is already beginning his attack on gun rights in the United States. Conservative-Daily predicted this would during the campaign. We warned you time and time again that Obama would go on the offensive with gun control in the United States. Now it has finally come to fruition: Democrats and liberals have declared war on your 2nd Amendment rights and our brave veterans are caught in the crossfire.
Last week, Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) tried to sneak an amendment into the Defense Bill that is currently being debated by Congress. The gun control measure in the bill would make it illegal for many of our veterans to own a gun. Further, it would do so with no due process rights for our former soldiers.
Think about that for a moment Sen. Schumer and President Obama are endeavoring to strip from the brave men and women who protect our Constitution the very rights that that document protects! Do you think that it is right that the same veterans who fought battles overseas have to come home and fight against the politicians they were protecting? It is disgusting. It is illegal.
So how exactly are Congressional Democrats trying to deny veterans their Constitutional rights? Sen. Schumer’s legislation would require the Veteran’s Administration (VA) to determine whether a veteran is mentally competent. Those veterans that are deemed incompetent will have their names forwarded the Criminal Background Check System and therefore will no longer be eligible for firearm purchases in the United States. All of this without due process.
