“We can never allow pseudo-science decisions to be in the hand of the State, which this is.”
My father used to say: “Internists know everything and do nothing. Surgeons know nothing and do everything. Psychiatrists know nothing and do nothing!”
The initial phase was pointless as you said but they never quit. The anti-smoking lobby just kept on demanding more until they exercise excessive, nearly absolute control in individual lives.
The gay lobby has used the same technique by assigning "hate" status to anyone who simply disagrees with them. Now they are set to destroy any opposition financially. The next step will be a firing squad.
Yet anther reason you shouldn’t want the Government managing anything. They tend to act in accordance to the various interest of political leaders rather than your interest. Thus suddenly your retirement plan and your healthcare suddenly become contingent upon a host of other unrelated demands.
Don’t be shocked at all when Obama ‘encourages’ IE orders ‘insurance’ plans to ‘discourage’ gun ownership, before moving on to strip other freedoms in the name of Washington’s political interest.
Keep control of theses things yourself and nobody can uses them against you. Let Government have control and they will be used against you when ever politicians see fit.
You would hear the screams straight across the Atlantic
I believe that
Not everyone receiving S.S. benefits through a representative payee are old people, many of them are minors.
Do you know how many Veterans receive Social Security Benefits. 65 is the age limit some start receiving it and most Viet Nam vets are in, or very close to that age.
Anyone know if they’re going to come after the guns of the representative payees, too?
If so, they’d be in some deep doo-doo.
“Most of them could not handle their affairs because they had thieving lying relatives and/or caregivers.”
So they need a gun even more!
I think it would be hard to confiscate guns, but easy enough to prohibit them from buying new guns.
I imagine trust fund type things, or LLC’s that manage for retirement would also be included.
What government could deem a person incapable of owning a gun for mental reasons and then convict them for "venting" (all sorts of puns waiting in the last)?
An ‘older’ white man involved in a national news shooting in Louisiana- boy is that convenient..
He wasn’t a senior citizen though at age 58
When can someone begin getting social security?
I ask because I don’t know. Can someone get social security if their spouse was a senior citizen?
Again, I am not near the age so don’t know.
I suspect they would know what medications this guy was on. I haven’t caught up on the story today so some of this may already be known
Guns will not be their only problem.
