2024 VA funding bill includes provision protecting veterans' Second Amendment rights by requiring judge's consent for FBI background check submissions.

Congress' funding deal includes a provision to protect veterans' Second Amendment rights by preventing VA from submitting veterans' names to FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check without a judge's consent. The provision is included in the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2024. This aims to ensure veterans who need financial help but do not pose a threat can retain their gun rights.
