Crane Reintroduces Bill to Restore Veterans’ 2nd Amendment Rights

Recently, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) introduced H.R.496 in response to the Biden VA’s unconstitutional restrictions on veterans’ Second Amendment rights. Rep. Crane’s bill clarifies that any veteran who was reported to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) by a VA fiduciary was done so incorrectly in violation of their constitutional rights. It also forces the VA Secretary to instruct the Attorney General to remove these veterans from the NICS list. “Under President Biden, the VA’s corrupt system violated the rights of roughly 270,000 veterans. These actions exemplified the previous administration’s blatant disregard for our nation’s heroes,” said Rep. Eli Crane. “Thankfully, we now have strong leadership back in the White House. It’s critical that we officially codify the rights of these veterans and ensure this never happens again. If bureaucrats are willing to do this to those who served our nation in uniform, there’s no telling where they’ll draw the line.”
