Portland Regional Office is sending notice to local Disabled Veterans threatening to use The Brady Bill to take away 2nd Amendment Rights. It works like this: Every Disabled Veteran is evaluated for their competency to manage their VA Benefit check. This "evaluation" is done in each and every Compensation Examination without directly asking the Veteran any questions. Or if the Veteran states that their spouse "pays all the bills" because "I was never very good paperwork". The presumption is that every Veteran is NOT compentent and when notified later that such a ruling is "proposed", it is the burden of the Veteran to prove otherwise. The Veteran is notified in the same letter that, if caught possessing any firearm, such a Veteran is committing a Federal Felony and could be sent to jail. "Innocent until proven guilty" is turned on its head! Currently two resolutions are under consideration to stop this. No one from the Northwest Congressional delegations is listed as a Co-sponsor. Shall we call call this to their attention?
