Veterans 2nd Amendment Restoration Act of 2025

Referred to the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs.

Bill 119 hr 496, also known as the "Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act," aims to address concerns regarding the transmission of certain information from the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Department of Justice for use in the national instant criminal background check system. The bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to notify the Attorney General if the basis for transmitting this information was improper, does not apply, or no longer applies.

The purpose of this legislation is to protect the Second Amendment rights of veterans who may have been unfairly or erroneously flagged in the background check system due to incorrect or outdated information provided by the VA. By requiring the VA to review and correct any improper transmissions of information, the bill seeks to ensure that veterans are not unjustly denied their right to own firearms.

In addition to addressing the issue of improper information transmission, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to veterans' rights and protections. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 hr 496 is to safeguard the constitutional rights of veterans while also ensuring the accuracy and fairness of the background check system.
