The U.S. Senate approved a spending package on Monday night that will allow the federal government to re-open within a matter of days (assuming, of course, that the House goes along). As part of that funding package, the upper chamber adopted an appropriations bill that, among other things, includes safeguards for the Second Amendment rights of veterans.
Great work from the @NRA Federal Affairs team. https://t.co/ozhjoOP4sS

According to NRA’s Insitute for Legislative Action, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies bill that was included in the spending package contains language that would continue to prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from negating the Second Amendment rights of veterans if they’ve had a fiduciary appointed to manage their benefits.
Additionally, the Chairmen of the House and Senate Committees on Veterans’ Affairs, Chairmen Mike Bost (R-IL-12) and Jerry Moran (R-KS) in addition to Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) have been working on legislation which would codify this important protection.
NRA-ILA has been working closely with lawmakers to ensure that our longstanding pro-gun policy provisions remain in place. This legislation now makes its way to the U.S. House of Representatives where we will continue to work with policymakers to protect the rights of veterans and law-abiding gun owners. NRA-ILA will continue to update you as this and other appropriations bills make their way through Congress.
