Veterans 2nd Amendment Restoration Act of 2025 This bill provides that certain individuals are not prohibited from purchasing, selling, or possessing a firearm or ammunition solely because the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has determined they require a fiduciary or are mentally incompetent (i.e., unable to manage their affairs). Under current law, it is unlawful to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person who has been adjudicated as mentally defective. The bill provides that a person must not be treated as having been adjudicated as mentally defective solely because the VA determined the person requires a fiduciary or is mentally incompetent per its regulations. Within 30 days of the enactment of this bill, the VA must notify the Department of Justice (DOJ) that the VA's transmittals of certain information that was provided solely on the basis that a veteran's benefits are managed by a fiduciary were improper, do not apply, or no longer apply. This applies to VA transmittals to DOJ on or after November 30, 1993, for use by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System for firearm transferees.

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
