FY24 MilCon/VA Appropriations Bill Includes Chairman Bost’s Veteran Second Amendment Rights Language

Statement

“For far too long, the men and women who have fought for all American’s constitutional rights were wrongfully treated differently when it came to their own rights. No veteran should lose their constitutional right to bear arms simply because they need help managing their finances, and if they are a danger to themselves or others, a judge should make that decision – not a VA bureaucrat. As Chairman, a sportsman, and a veteran, getting the veteran community the due process rights they have earned has long been one of my top priorities. I want to thank my friends, Speaker Johnson, Appropriations Chairwoman Granger, Judge Carter, Ranking Member Moran, Senator Kennedy, and the numerous veteran service organizations who sounded the alarm on the current VA policies negative impact on their veteran members for joining me in this fight, and working with me to ensure we could finally put end to this discriminatory practice through the VA appropriations process. This is long overdue.”
