I'm on several committees including the NRA Legal Affairs Committee. During that committee meeting, we covered a 62 page report of all the cases we are involved in or are supporting. There are several matters on each page. I'm also on the Board of Trustees of the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund and during that meeting we responded to over three dozen requests for assistance or funding of cases.

We are very heavily involved in numerous cases and we simply cannot take on everything. SAF is involved in a handful of cases, we're in hundreds. Plus, we make sure we learn the true facts before getting involved and as I mentioned, I have no idea what really happened. As a final note, we can't file suit on behalf of anyone, or take any other action, unless they ask us to do so.

The VA and military have government-employed physicians and government-operated hospitals.

As far as I know, only the President and Vice President are seen at military hospitals (Walter Reed, usually).
