Bill > HR962

This bill, known as the Defending Veterans' Second Amendment Rights Act, prohibits the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from sharing personally identifiable information about veterans and beneficiaries with the Department of Justice's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) solely based on a determination that a person has a service-connected disability. The NICS is a system used to conduct background checks for firearm purchases, and this bill aims to prevent veterans from being automatically flagged or potentially restricted from purchasing firearms simply because they have been determined to have a disability related to their military service. By preventing the automatic transmission of such information, the bill seeks to protect veterans' Second Amendment rights and prevent potential discriminatory practices that might limit their ability to own firearms based on disability status.
