Veterans 2nd Amendment Restoration Act of 2025

This bill focuses on veterans who were reported to the federal background check system for guns only because the VA decided they needed help managing their benefits or labeled them mentally incompetent. It tells the VA to notify the Attorney General that those past reports were improper or no longer apply. It also says a VA decision like this, by itself, cannot be used to treat someone as banned from buying or owning a firearm or ammunition. In short, it aims to prevent automatic loss of gun rights based only on VA benefit-related decisions, and to correct past records based on those decisions.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Veterans who were assigned a fiduciary to manage VA benefits or found mentally incompetent by the VA for benefits purposes.
• What changes: The VA must, within 30 days of the law taking effect, tell the Attorney General that using those VA decisions alone to report someone to the background check system was improper or no longer applies. And those VA decisions alone cannot be used to block firearm or ammo purchases under federal law.
• When: The VA notification must happen within 30 days after the law is enacted.
