This must be Barack Obama’s way of thanking our veterans for serving.US veterans are receiving letters from the government informing them that they are disabled and not allowed to own, purchase or possess a firearm. If the veteran does decide to purchase a firearm he will by fined, imprisoned or both.
This comes on page 2 of the VA letter.

This is disgusting.
Oh, for God’s sake. It’s not all veterans, or all disabled veterans. It’s veterans who have been determined to be mentally incompetent. Unless you actually WANT more incidents like the one that killed Chris Kyle, this is good policy.
I hate to say it, but there are a lot of vets who come back with a lot of severe mental issues. There is nothing stating that if they get help and eventually determined that they are mentally stable, that they can eventually get approved for firearms ownership.
Maybe it will help curb the number of veterans who are committing suicide . There is a possibility that they are more of threat to themselves than to anyone else. I dunno, this makes a bit of sense to me having known guys who come back from deployment suffering from severe PTSD which resulted in them killing themselves or killing their spouse. If I knew that this policy would have kept one of my friends alive long enough for him to get some help, I would support it.
Remember the argument about mental health? This is it.

ED NOTE: I’m not a dog person but this story just warmed my heart! -Malaka Gharib, editor, NPR Goats and Soda
This is Charles. After he returned from fighting in Uganda’s civil war, he had flashbacks. He panicked at loud noises, lashed out at others and contemplated suicide. Then he got a dog named Ogen Rwot. “She is like my sister,” he says.
