Veterans' Rights Protection: Gun Access Without Undue Restrictions.

This act aims to protect veterans' gun ownership rights by preventing the Department of Veterans Affairs from automatically sharing information about beneficiaries requiring a fiduciary with the national instant criminal background check system. This means veterans needing assistance with their benefits will not be automatically deemed ineligible to own firearms unless a court specifically rules them a danger.
Key points
The Department of Veterans Affairs cannot automatically transmit veterans' information to the NICS system solely because they require a fiduciary to manage benefits.
A court order or finding is now required to transmit a veteran's information to NICS, specifically stating they are a danger to themselves or others.
The act seeks to prevent veterans from being unfairly stripped of their Second Amendment rights based solely on their need for financial assistance.
