The VA Letter about Gun Rights

The Gateway Pundit

This must be Barack Obama’s way of thanking our veterans for serving.
US veterans are receiving letters from the government informing them that they are disabled and not allowed to own, purchase or possess a firearm. If the veteran does decide to purchase a firearm he will by fined, imprisoned or both.
This comes on page 2 of the VA letter.

First of all, when you say, "veterans are receiving letters," it sounds like ALL veterans are receiving them or that random veterans are. That's the tip-off right there.  Pro-gun arguments that need to resort to that sort of exaggeration or mendacity are usually bogus.

Secondly, don't we have an alarming suicide problem among former military? Isn't it about time someone tried to address that?

What's your opinion?  Please leave a comment.

  1. 1. There are veterans receiving these letters, if the reports are correct. I saw nothing saying "all" veterans.

    2. The suicide problem is much smaller than you like to imply and can be addressed in ways better than violating the rights of veterans.

  2. No mike, "veterans receiving letters" would sound like ALL veterans if they actually included the word "all". Likewise, it would sound like random veterans are receiving the letter, if they used the word "random". You mentally insert words that aren't there so that it means something different in your mind, and then claim that they are exaggerating. What's up with that? Watch, I'll do the same thing with your words:

    When you say we have an "alarming suicide problem", you make it sound like ALL veterans kill themselves when they return from war. Why do you have to resort to such exaggerations?
