Committee seeks judge's order before names of mentally incompetent vets sent to gun registry | Fox News

Committee seeks judge's order before names of mentally incompetent vets sent to gun registry | Fox News: "Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs automatically submits the names to the FBI's database of those veterans who are deemed unable to handle their own financial affairs and have a fiduciary appointed to administer their benefits.

But the House Committee on Veterans Affairs approved legislation requiring a judge's order before a veteran's name is submitted to the database. Lawmakers said veterans who are not a threat to harm themselves or others should not be denied a constitutional right to buy and possess guns."
