GOA needs your help to right this wrong.

John,


Tens of thousands of veterans have been DISARMED by anti-gun bureaucrats after
seeking help managing their VA benefits.


But now we have the chance to restore the constitutionally-protected right to
keep and bear arms for those Americans who put their lives on the line for our
country.



The House Committee on Veteran Affairs recently held a hearing on H.R. 1041,
which would prohibit the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from sharing any
information that could be used to disarm veterans.



In fact, GOA worked with the House leadership last year to include a temporary
ban on disarming veterans in the future. This fits with GOA’s commitment to
repeal ALL gun control that infringes on the rights of any law-abiding American.


But it’s not enough to stop these injustices going forward… Our country must
also right this wrong for any veterans who had their God-given rights taken
from them in the past.


That’s why Congress MUST include language that retroactively restores 2A
rights to the thousands of veterans who have been wrongly disarmed!


In fact, a hearing was already held on a GOA-backed draft of a secondary bill
to accomplish exactly that!


GOA is now urging that retroactive language to be inserted into H.R. 1041 –
not included as a separate bill – to ensure that it passes the U.S. Senate.


Keeping it separate only lowers the odds of this bill making it through the
Senate. If H.R. 1041’s goal is a “protection” of veterans’ 2A rights, then it
must includerestoring their 2A rights as well.


To ensure it happens, we’re asking our members like YOU to add your name to
our pre-written letter telling your Representative to vote for H.R. 1041with
restorative language included.


(NOTE: We’ve written separate letters depending on whether your Representative
is a Republican or a Democrat to maximize the efficacy of our grassroots
outreach.)


Everyone has a vested interest in getting this legislation passed. Even if
you’ve never served in the armed forces, you probably have family members or
friends who have.



Not only that, the veterans gun ban is just a first step. Remember when the
Obama administration tried to expand the ban to also cover Social Security
disability recipients? This is why every infringement must be repealed—or else
it will eventually be expanded to cover YOU!


So please add your name to our prewritten letter urging your representative to
support including the retroactive restoration of veterans’ gun rights in the
Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act (H.R. 1041).
