VA, ATF say no guns for Iraq war vet - National gun rights | Examiner.com

VA, ATF say no guns for Iraq war vet - National gun rights | Examiner.com: "'Iraq Veteran Stripped of Right To Bear Arms,' 5 News Ft Smith-Fayetteville tells us.

Why?

'A year ago the Irelan's began receiving a small stipend from Veterans Affairs because Lana had to take over the family's finances...The V.A. declared Wayne Irelan incompetent and now his right to own a gun is gone.'

Why would they do that, and what are the repercussions?

'Irelan has post traumatic stress disorder from the Iraq war, but his wife says he has never been violent...The couple didn't know Wayne's gun rights had been terminated until they went to get a gun out of pawn. Days later Wayne got a letter from the Arkansas State Police saying his concealed carry permit had been revoked. The ATF has told the Irelans that they could go to jail if a firearm is found in their home.'

How did such a state of affairs come to be?

Why don't we ask that 'gun lobby' we're told never compromises?"
