Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act of 2025
Introduced Feb 6, 2025 by Sen. John Kennedy
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from transmitting certain information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) utilized by licensed importers or dealers of firearms.
Specifically, the bill prohibits the VA from transmitting personally identifying information of a veteran or a beneficiary to the NICS solely on the basis that such veteran or beneficiary has an appointed fiduciary to manage their benefits, unless there is an order or finding of a judicial authority that such veteran or beneficiary is a danger to themselves or others.
