U.S. Military Vets being disarmed!
(TRN) -- The U.S. Veterans Administration has been instructed by the Department of Homeland Security to ask military vets 3 questions when they come in for any kind of mediccal check-up or problem. Answering "Yes" to any single question will result in the vet being disarmed by the government.

The following e-mail was sent to the Turner Radio Network by a Vietnam Veteran who enjoys our radio shows. His identity is14:51 2711236 wrss12@yahoo. com.br H pr=g.

"I had a doctors appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found something very interesting I would like to pass along.. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions.
(1. Did I feel stressed?)
(2. Did I feel threatened?)
(3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?)

The nurse then informed me, if I had answered yes to any of the questions, I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security.

I am a Viet Nam vet and 15 year cc permit holder.

Looks like they are going after us vets."
Be forewarned and be aware.

The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners as potential terrorists.

If you are a veteran, you've been warned.

If you know veterans, please pass this on to them.

Before I strap on the aluminum beanie, can anyone confirm this ??

I checked Snopes and could not find anything on it.

IIRC there is something that requires the VA to report names of those found to be adjudicated as insane, a danger to self or others, or unable to manage their affairs (probably not the precise terms in the law) to NICS (which is not Homeland Security).

The operative word is "adjudicated" - needs to be a formal, adversarial hearing, not merely a panel of three docs saying you need the rubber room.

The "Three Questions" are pretty standard screening for anyone coming in seeking mental health services, but I were asked those because I wanted treatment for arthrits I would be pretty much upset and thinking the nurse might need some rubber room time.

By the way -

Do you know what day it is?
Do you know who is President?
Do you know where you are?
I'm going to say three numbers and three words.  Try to remember them.  After your waterboarding I'll ask you to repeat the three numbers and three words.

Put the foil beanie away.

stay safe.

Did I feel stressed?

I would answer yes to that 90% of the time.  At least to some degree.

Nope

(2. Did I feel threatened?)

Nope

(3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?)

Nope - well - at least not until YOU started asking me these silly questions...
