Outrage of the Week: Illinois Sen. D-i-c-k Durbin Blocks Efforts to Restore Rights to Veterans

We have long reported on the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) scandalous practice of reporting to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) any VA beneficiary who has had a “fiduciary” appointed to help the individual manage his or her benefits. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has shown strong leadership in opposing this unjustified practice and tried to offer an amendment this week to the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Bill that would prevent such reporting without an adjudication of dangerousness. Incredibly, anti-gun Democrats, lead by Illinois Senator ***** Durbin, blocked consideration of the amendment, arguing it was better to over-report those who pose no danger rather than risk not reporting someone who was mentally ill.

Good ole D-I-C-K!

Understandably since he went to the The Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. He thinks he is one of the Elitists.

I could understand if those vets that have a serious form of PTSD, are depressed, angry or suicidal, that should come out somehow during a background check, but denying them the right only because they're vets and are on some sort of "list" -- the fact that they're on the list for any reason and denying them is wrong. You can't trust the government to make decisions other than black or white. What really gets my goat is denying regular soldiers on base the ability to carry....that's crazy!
