"What if that letter also stated: “A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Pub.L.No. 103-159, as implemented at 18, United States Code 924(a)(2).”?"

This does not read well in the current environment. It's getting to the point where we are beginning to expect this kind of thing from this administration

It's not just vets. Human doctors too. And computer programmers.
If someone is not mentally competent to safely handle guns.

Of corse, if a vet isn't competent to posses a gun, they certainly couldn't be competent enough to obey the Brady Law, could they?

I don't know this guy's credentials, but if his info is accurate it puts this in a different light.
The letter Mr. Connelly discusses appears to be a cautionary, cover your *** (CYA), letter sent by the VA to a veteran. The letter appears to be confirming an offer from the VA to declare this veteran as “disabled” due to psychological issues. That is, he will have been certified as crazy if he accepts his diagnosed disability.
The paragraph is a warning that, if the veteran accepts this diagnosis and the benefits that come with it, there will also be consequences such as limitations garnered from his 2nd Amendment rights.

Looks like some kind of sick effort to make more people barred from having guns
