Mark Koernke hosted Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America on Weapons Wednesday to discuss recent gun control legislation targeting veterans. The episode focused on a Veterans Disarmament Act that would use PTSD and mental health diagnoses to strip gun rights from military veterans, which Koernke and Pratt characterized as a deliberate effort by the federal government to disarm those most capable of resisting tyranny. They discussed the NRA's alleged betrayal by secretly negotiating with gun control advocates, the intentional corruption of background check systems like NCIC to confuse and control citizens, and the historical parallels to Soviet and Nazi regimes that targeted veterans and the mentally ill.
