An amendment proposed by Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) to the Fiscal Year 2025 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies appropriations bill was adopted by a bipartisan majority in the House today. The amendment addresses veterans reported to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) by a VA fiduciary, clarifying that such reports were made incorrectly and violated constitutional rights. It mandates the VA Secretary to instruct the Attorney General to remove these veterans from the NICS list.
“I’m encouraged to see Congress refusing to turn a blind eye to the two-hundred-and-sixty-thousand veterans who have been wrongfully submitted to the FBI’s corrupt system," said Rep. Eli Crane. "President Biden and his Administration have shown they would have no problem moving forward to disrespect the Constitution and strip veterans of their 2nd Amendment rights."
Crane further added, “If this Administration is willing to do this to veterans of our Armed Forces, they will do this to the rest of America.”
