Summary: A veteran supports the proposed rule to prevent the VA from using fiduciary assignments as a basis for stripping individuals of their Second Amendment rights. The commenter argues that administrative financial management should not be used to bypass the requirement for an individualized dangerousness finding.
I strongly support this proposed rule. The abuse of the VA fiduciary assignment process to strip veterans of their Second Amendment rights is one of the most shameful firearms policy failures of recent decades. I am a veteran who was nearly subjected to this disarmament' and I personally know a few fellow veterans who lost their gun rights solely because the VA assigned a fiduciary to help manage his benefits check, despite no finding of dangerousness by any court. The GCA's mental health prohibitor requires an individualized dangerousness finding, not an administrative determination about financial management. Therefore, I STRONGLY urge ATF to finalize this rule and restore rights to those wrongfully and UNLAWFULLY disarmed.
