Bill overview
This bill, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act of 2025, restricts the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from sharing information about veterans and their beneficiaries with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Specifically, the VA cannot transmit personally identifiable information to NICS if benefits are being paid to a fiduciary managing the veteran’s affairs, unless a court has determined the veteran poses a danger to themselves or others. This aims to protect veterans’ privacy and Second Amendment rights by limiting potential firearm restrictions based solely on the use of a fiduciary.
