“I want to be absolutely clear … I believe in people’s right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away. There are common-sense gun safety laws that I believe in, but I am not going to take your guns away.”

Those words—spoken in Barack Obama’s condescending faux-redneck accent—were delivered in a 2008 campaign appearance. Like so many other “absolutely clear” statements from now-President Obama, this was a lie. Want proof?

In the case of over 177,000 veterans who selflessly served their country, the scandal-ridden Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has anonymously declared them to be prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and individually subject to prosecution for owning or possessing firearms as if they were common criminals. You might think this is due to some finding that these veterans are a true danger to themselves or others, but you’d be wrong. They have done nothing more than have a fiduciary assigned to manage their benefits.
