        He is NOT protecting Vets. This is not about mental health, just giving up rights if you need financial assistance.

        The VA is arbitrarily deeming financial assistance of any kind to be mentally debilitating and danger to self. Wrong!

        This is a misleading, not to say dishonest, lede. Shame on USA Today for screwing over American veterans.

        Mentally ill, with danger to self or others already covered under law; preventing many that need help from seeking it.

        Bill is to protect Vets that need financial assistance from losing 1st and 2d amend. Rights by seeking assistance through VA.

        Protect vets from rouge doctors & beurocrats. Vets need protection from VA malfeasance, no accountability or recourse.

        because petraeus et al are psychiatrists. Also, wrong person to advocate for behavior of others

        to let mentally ill to get guns is a sick policy, why don't let them get sports gear, cooking devices or any present to enjoy life
