I am not saying anything about veterans. I was strictly discussing Social Security. Actually, I think Democrats would have a completely different reason for limiting a veteran's Right to firearms.I am astounded that anti-government sentiment can be perverted into blaming the victims of outright abuse of government power.
I met a fellow USAF airman at the VA hospital who went into service the same month as I in 1966, but had been nearly blown apart by a mortar attack in Viet Nam, spent YEARS in the hospitals, and was finally allowed to live at home in Oklahoma, but had to visit the hospital monthly. He was grievously physically handicapped, but mentally sharp. He authorized his family to access his records and help with the endless paperwork. He was one of over 168,000 vets administratively declared mentally incompetent by the last administration with NO DUE PROCESS and NO REVIEW.
Exactly how did he "get a free ride" or "give up his rights? And by the way, he never went in front of any judge or claimed anything, the VA determined his disability and treatment after his WAR INJURY.
