To do this to veterans is especially egregious.

Congressman Thomas Massie "Fix NICS" Legislation Next Week
Liberty is the soul's right to breathe, and when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdled too tight.

Massie, a staunch pro-gun advocate, said in a Dec. 2 Facebook post that the legislation is an extension of former President Barack Obama’s anti-gun agenda because it “[pressures] every branch of the administration (such as the Veteran’s Administration) to submit thousands of more names to the NICS background check database to deny gun purchases.”
The NRA said on its website that Massie’s post contains misleading information.
The bill does not expand disqualifications for gun ownership, the powerful gun lobbying group said. Rather, it simply requires that federal agencies submit the names of criminal offenders or people with mental health circumstances that disqualify them from owning a firearm.
“This differs from former President Obama’s efforts, in which he attempted to administratively create new categories of individuals who were prohibited from possessing a firearm,” the NRA web page says.
Massie is the only member of Congress the NRA has called out for withholding support from the bill.
“It’s an odd day in Washington, D.C., when the NRA supports legislation backed by Sens. (Diane) Feinstein and Schumer,” Massie told the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Re: Congressman Thomas Massie "Fix NICS" Legislation Next We
Capitol Hill sources — and media outlets — are saying that the House leadership wants to include the anti-gun Fix NICS language in the omnibus. But in doing so, they would be breaking their promise to gun owners.
A vote to pass Fix NICS is a vote to kill Concealed Carry Reciprocity
Last year, the House of Representatives passed the GOA-backed H.R. 1181, which would create due process protections for veterans.
But, if the Fix NICS/Take the Guns First language is slammed through on the omnibus, there is NO chance that H.R. 1181 will see the president’s desk.
Similarly, when the House passed Fix NICS late last year, it coupled it in a combo-bill which also contained concealed carry reciprocity, our highest pro-active legislative priority.
And the leadership promised at the time that it would not consider a Fix NICS provision without reciprocity.
However, if this anti-gun provision is slammed through on the omnibus, reciprocity will be dead for the year.
