Veterans: Restoring Firearm Rights

This act aims to stop the automatic reporting of veterans to the criminal background check system if the sole reason is that their benefits are managed by a fiduciary. This means veterans will no longer be treated as mentally incompetent for firearm purposes just because they need help managing their finances. The act seeks to protect veterans' Second Amendment rights.
Key points
Veterans who need help managing benefits will not automatically lose their right to own firearms.
The Department of Veterans Affairs must notify the Attorney General that previous reports to the background check system were improper.
The change aims to remove barriers for veterans in accessing firearms if their only issue is the need for a financial fiduciary.
