Veterans Gun Rights Restoration: Ending Automatic Firearm Bans for Fiduciary Appointment.

This bill aims to restore Second Amendment rights for veterans who were previously barred from purchasing firearms solely because the VA appointed a fiduciary to manage their benefits. The legislation mandates that the VA notify the Attorney General that transmitting this information to the national background check system (NICS) was improper, as these individuals were not legally adjudicated as mentally defective. This change ensures that having a financial representative does not automatically result in a loss of gun ownership rights.
Key points
Restores firearm purchase rights for veterans whose only disqualification was having a VA-appointed financial fiduciary.
Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to withdraw these veterans' data from the federal NICS background check system.
The change applies only to veterans who have not been formally adjudicated as mentally incompetent by a court.
