| VA Sends Veterans' Medical Info To FBI To Get Their Guns Taken Away |
| 2015-04-22 |
| [Daily Caller] Documents obtained by The Daily Caller and interviews with American veterans reveal a shocking government program: The Department of Veterans Affairs is disarming America's veterans by getting them placed on the FBI's criminal background-check list. The VA sends veterans' personal medical and financial information directly to the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which can seize their guns in home raids. Veterans deemed mentally incompetent or financially incapable are finally speaking out about the errors in the system and the fearful harassment they and their families face from the federal government. And it all starts when vets go to the VA to get medical help. The Daily Caller obtained a "MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS AND THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE NATIONAL INSTANT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM." The document, dated Feb. 27, 2012, makes clear the VA must send health information to the FBI for its gun background-check database. Might Health and Human Services - Obamacare have a similar MOA ? "VA will provide an encrypted compact disc exchanged via mail to the FBI no less than quarterly for, inter alia, inclusion in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)," the memo reads. The memo defines the NICS database as a list of "persons prohibited under federal law from receiving or possessing firearms." "Data disclosed by VA to the FBI under the terms of this agreement is to be entered into the NICS Index..." |

| #8 I'm of the opinion that everything the government is doing these days is to keep the citizens from opposing it. It believes it exists to rule, but to govern. |

| #7 Interesting. Can this be cross referenced to any formal complaints? g(r)om, not here. Especially after the government floated that one owning a firearm equals a mental defect. Which I guess being a LEO makes one immune or something. Anyways, I was at a hospital soon after Obamacare and had to re-sign my affirmation of service understandings and in the fine print was a deal that the hospital could share my health information in the event I made a disparaging comment or anything considered a threat against a foreign diplomat or some such bull. Yeah, I'm the one of those guys who reads those things. |

| #3 Disarm the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. Also, if debt is a red flag there is no one deeper in debt than the Federal Government are. The bottom line is the regime is going after well trained people in military tactics who are sworn to protect the constitution. Doctors in the past asking if patients have guns is a precursor to Obama Care interrogations and reporting of all Americans. |

| #2 Of course. Like government employees everywhere, they may not be capable of doing their actual job, but they do know how to keep the bureaucracy happy. |

| #1 1. "an encrypted compact disc" 2. "exchanged via mail" 3. "no less than quarterly" 4. "Data ... is to be entered" 5. "document, dated Feb. 27, 2012" So many technology failures, so little time. |
