1. This is errant nonsense

The article claims that the VA not only has the authority to revoke a veteran's gun rights, but that they can control his or her finances. No, the VA has no authority over either. This is some scare tactic bullshit. The VA has problems, yes, but it just doesn't have this kind of power.
