New VA Funding Bill Includes Provision To Protect Veterans’ Second Amendment Rights https://t.co/Wm9dks0SF1

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Republican Rep. Mike Bost of Illinois, the chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, a provision was included in the recent funding deal that prevents the Department of Veterans’ Affairs from reporting veterans’ names to the FBI’s background check system without a judge’s consent. This means that veterans who may need financial assistance won’t automatically lose their right to bear arms. It’s a victory for common sense and constitutional rights!
For years, veterans who needed help managing their finances were being treated unfairly under the existing policy. Without any due process, they were being stripped of their Second Amendment rights. This is unacceptable! Veterans who have risked their lives to defend our freedoms should not be penalized in this way.
It’s clear that this legislation was long overdue, as pointed out by Rep. Bost. It’s a shame that Democratic lawmakers opposed this move, putting bureaucratic hurdles ahead of protecting veterans’ rights. But thankfully, the voices of reason prevailed, and this discriminatory practice has finally been brought to an end.
In addition to this important provision, the funding deal also includes a hefty $20.3 billion for the VA’s Toxic Exposures Fund to provide compensation for veterans affected by toxic substances during their service. This shows a commitment to supporting our servicemen and women in every way possible, and it’s commendable.
Overall, the funding package allocates a significant $328 billion for the VA, marking an increase from the previous year. This will ensure that the VA has the resources necessary to support our veterans and provide them with the care and benefits they deserve.
This funding deal is a major win for our veterans and their constitutional rights. It’s a step in the right direction towards honoring and respecting those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Let’s hope that Congress continues to prioritize the well-being of our veterans in the future.
