Morrison park is a fantastic spot! It's within walking distance for me and my 5 kids under 6. Having a place to let them run their energy out is vital and is a great asset to the community.
Sabrina supported: Petition to Preserve and Revitalize Morrison Park, Shelbyville, IndianaI didn’t fight overseas for this country just to have my rights taken away by some pencil pusher at the VA.
Jeremiah supported: Stop the VA From Violating Our Veterans’ Second Amendment RightsI am 83 with limited income , but I support our military , I have a great grandson serving in the marines at this time and 17 members of my immediate family have served in war and peacetime!!!
Lucy supported: Stop the VA From Violating Our Veterans’ Second Amendment RightsThe Second Amendment matters to be because the right to keep and bear arms guarantees public safety and freedom. When citizens forfeit their right to self-defense, they put themselves at the mercy of both government tyranny and the tyrant of the mob. This is important for everyone, but particularly for veterans because they sacrificed so much to defend others, even people they didn't know. That's why this issue matters to me.
John supported: Stop the VA From Violating Our Veterans’ Second Amendment RightsAs a 10-year U.S. Air Force veteran, you firmly believe that honorably discharged service members should not be arbitrarily restricted from owning or purchasing firearms. You have served your country, upheld the Constitution, and demonstrated responsibility and discipline, and those qualities should be respected rather than challenged without due cause.
Firearm ownership should only be restricted if an individual has violated a law that explicitly requires such a restriction—such as a criminal conviction related to violent behavior or a court ruling deeming someone a danger to themselves or others. Administrative decisions, like the VA fiduciary process, should not be grounds for reporting veterans to the NICS database without a proper legal review.
One of the biggest concerns surrounding VA firearm restrictions is the lack of judicial oversight. Veterans assigned fiduciaries to manage their financial affairs can be reported to NICS as if they are mentally unfit to own firearms, without a court ruling or proper legal examination. This denies veterans their due process rights, and any restriction on constitutional freedoms should require clear legal justification, not bureaucratic discretion.
Veterans who have served to defend the Constitution should not have to fight for their own constitutional rights after service. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, and while reasonable regulations exist to prevent firearms from getting into the wrong hands, these regulations should not disproportionately or unfairly target veterans based on administrative decisions rather than legal determinations.
Your perspective is rooted in principles of fairness, legal accountability, and constitutional rights. You believe in responsible firearm ownership, and that restrictions should only be imposed based on lawful and justified reasons—not arbitrary VA policies.
