This is just a reckless rumor-

on the internet-

There is No Veterans Disarmament Bill.

What about that labeling certain vets "mental defective" a while back and putting them on a no-fly list at airports?

Did that ever happen?

I am on a watch list at the Tampa International Airport and I don't know why except I am 100% disabled vet. The TSA won't tell me why I am on the list.

There are already laws on the books about mentally disabled people not being able to buy guns, so I don't see why they would need to specify veterans....sounds like a rumor to me.....

It's a rumor... period. The VA did release in 2000 the names of people who had been either inpatient voluntary, or involuntary... to the federal government. This is still unclear as to exactly what names were released, but... there has been nothing since, and the law ALREADY states that if you have been treated in a mental institution (presuming inpatient) you are not eligable to own a handgun. So, there is NO NEED for a new law....

So lets just chill about this... it's all over the net and for no reason.
