VA Tries to Confiscate Disabled Vet’s Guns, Stopped by Citizens and Sheriff Standing Guard

President Obama has said time and again that his greatest disappointment was that he was unable to enact new gun control legislation to further restrict the right of American citizens to keep and bear arms. In an effort to do an end run around Congress and enact some of that legislation, the Obama administration enacted some new policies that would make it impossible for some disabled vets to purchase guns and might even lead to their existing firearms being confiscated. That very nightmare scenario — the VA forcibly confiscating the firearms of a disabled veteran — almost happened in Idaho yesterday, but the VA was stopped in its tracks by a grassroots group of local residents. And the sheriff. And some politicians. All of whom stood on the man’s front yard to prevent the confiscation.

I had heard rumors of this happening and had discussions of this possibility with the gun control the left is pushing, but this is the 1st case I have read about it actually happening.
This is an off the wall news source, so I am not sure if it is true or not. And not sure how to verify it.
Is there anyone on the forum from Idaho? Or close to the area this happened in that might know about this incident?

Hey, Linda, I had read this before.
But perhaps you'd agree that so many of Obama's political agencies advocate for curtailing guns amongst Americans.  With the exception of the elitists protecting themselves, of course.
Then there's the play on words.  Its not weakening our 2nd Amendment rights via gun control, its now being referred to as common-sense gun safety measures.
