I've seen many VA patients are so incompetent with their benefits that they require a fiduciary. Never have I thought, "Gee, what this guy needs is a firearm."
I'm sure there are a few out there that need a fiduciary for some odd reason but are otherwise competent enough to have firearms. But, that won't be common. Seems the more logical solution would be to have an appeal process, not a free for all.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs today announced a major new step to protect Veterans’ Second Amendment rights. Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System as “prohibited persons” only because they need help from a fiduciary in managing their VA benefits.
This corrects a three-decade-old wrong that deprived many thousands of Veterans in VA’s Fiduciary Program of their constitutional right to own a firearm without a legal basis.
