They’re
Taking Guns from Veterans and We Could be Next!
Dear John,
I need you to take immediate action to help Gun Owners of America
win a major victory in Congress.
I
am asking you to please add your name to our prewritten letter urging
your congressman to vote for H.R. 705, the Veterans 2nd Amendment
Protection Act.
If your congressman does not hear from you right now, John, I fear Joe Biden will plow ahead
with a plan to strip veterans of their gun rights – and then move on
to every other American.
The good news is that your activism has brought about a huge
victory for 2nd Amendment rights. This culminated in the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs sending a letter to Rep. Mike Bost on March 15
confirming that the VA will no longer be disarming veterans for simply
having a fiduciary!
The bad news is that our victory has caused quite a stir among
anti-gun Democrats in Congress, and 143 House Democrats have sent a
letter calling for the VA to ignore the law!
This is no small number. That’s 2/3rds of Democrats in the House of
Representatives, who want to declare military veterans unfit to own
firearms – despite the fact that GOA-backed language just passed into
law PREVENTING the VA from disarming military veterans.
Declaring someone mentally unsuitable to have a gun simply because
someone else manages their finances is so radical even mental health
professionals, who are usually anti-gun, have spoken out against the
Veterans Gun Ban.
John, you know that if they
can do this to veterans, then they can do this to the rest of America
as well.
We’ve told you before that because of your activism, GOA was able
to win two major victories in the spending bill now before
Congress:
- We got language slashing the ATF’s budget—the biggest cut in
the bureau’s history.
- We got language blocking the Veterans Gun Ban signed into law,
so that for now, veterans cannot be banned from owning guns simply
because they have someone else managing their benefits.
However, GOA has learned that Democrats wish to reenact the
Veterans Gun Ban in next year’s VA funding bill. We need your help to
codify the GOA-backed protections into permanent law and to help
restore the rights of veterans who have already been disarmed.
It’s a big win that shocked Joe Biden, but we need push ahead even
further, John.
That’s why Congressman Mike Bost has stepped up and introduced H.R.
705, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act.
Now,
I need you to please add your name to our prewritten letter asking
your congressman to do two things:
- Amend H.R. 705
to delete the current list of veterans who were tossed into the NICS
system.
- Pass H.R. 705 to
stop the Veterans Gun Ban permanently.
Time is running out, John, so
I need you to go here right now to instantly contact your
congressman.
Do not wait. If you and I contact Congress right now we have a
chance to win.
But if you just read this letter by without acting, John, I fear your voice will be
outnumbered by anti-gun radicals.
Please
go here right now to tell your Congressman to pass a H.R. 705 that
permanently ends the Veterans Gun Ban and removes veterans already
thrown onto the gun ban list.
In Liberty,
Aidan Johnson
Director of Federal Affairs
