The V.A. tries to confiscate man’s weapons, hundreds rally at his home to stop it
We recently reported on the Obama administration’s latest gun-grab attempt that might prevent Social Security benefits who use accountants from owning or purchasing weapons (This is not a joke. The Obama administration is actually doing this). Basically, it’s nonsense that works like this: Social Security beneficiaries are generally older. And if they have accountants, that means that they must have difficulty thinking clearly. And if they are old and have difficulty thinking clearly, they shouldn’t have access to weapons. Air. Tight. Logic.
Recently, an Idaho man checked a box on a VA form indicating that he used an accountant for his finances. Soon afterward, he was sent a letter informing him that the VA, (yes the same VA who kills people regularly), was sending a representative to his home to confiscate his weapons. Yes. This happened. In the United States of America.
Well, the local residents of the Idaho town where he lived were having none of it. They showed up at the man’s home to stop the illegal confiscation.
A group of residents in northern Idaho lined up outside a U.S. Navy veteran’s house on Thursday to protest claims that federal officials are planning on confiscating the man’s weapons.
Idaho Republican state Rep. Heather Scott of Blanchard said the Veteran Affairs office has sent a letter to John Arnold of Priest River warning him that he cannot possess or purchase firearms.
The protest -spearheaded by Scott- attracted roughly 100 people. Among them were Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler, who promised to stand guard against any federal attempts to remove Arnold’s guns, and Republican Washington state Rep. Matthew Shea of Spokane Valley, who described the event as a “defiance against tyranny.”
“I took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and uphold the laws of Idaho,” Wheeler said. “This seemed appropriate to show my support. I was going to make sure Mr. Arnold’s rights weren’t going to be breached.”
The VA. The Veteran’s Administration. The terribly inefficient, government-run, taxpayer-funded, single-payer, corrupt, horrible-in-every-way, hospital system was going to confiscate this man’s weapons, you know, for his own good.
I would love to hear progressives loudly denounce stuff like this but I’m not going to hold my breath.
