Obama pushes to extend gun background checks to Social Security

Seeking tighter controls over firearm purchases, the Obama administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, a move that could affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others.

The push is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally and others.

A potentially large group within Social Security are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to manage their own affairs due to "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease."

when's the last time a senior held up a store, robbed a bank, killed a cop...

This is about "who gets the guns" when the senior passes.

Are we talking confiscation or tracking the gun's ownership.

I would like to know just WHEN does this JERK have time to think of all this misery he has heaped on America. There is no way he alone can come up with this crap.

It must be all scripted and on time, all he has to do is pull out the next agenda item.........there is no way one person could think of all this misery by themselves.

Yes, I can answer my own question, which he doesn't think for himself, and it is all scripted for him. we still have a full year to go with this monster and his CZARS.

About those CZARS, all R candidates should come out and declare that the CZARS name will never be used again, and it should be illegal in America to call them that. Should be a law..

Has that name ever been used by another President?

Looks like I’d better run on down to the local gun store and buy that Mossberg I’ve been looking at...

...as soon as I remember where I put my car keys.

Obama just sees another way to take guns away from citizens. It has nothing to do with seniors.

Yeh...good idea. I heard seniors were organizing “gangs” in the old folks home...and going to take over the kitchen so they could get a decent meal.

More frightening than the negro community organizer from Chicago is the fact that he was elected. The American people are more scary than he is!

{{{GULP}}}, I fit into all 4 of those "mentally incompetent" groups.

But they have to come get them first.

BTW, I was in Bamberg 76-79, remember "Paradisios"?

Only those abiding by unconstitutional laws will be defenseless.

“marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease.”

Sounds like the whole Democratic party.

Works for me...

Yes, the next President, and he must be a Republican if America is to survive, will have his work cut out for him rescinding all the Unconstitutional orders by 0bama.

“At a hearing Monday in Manhattan in which he ruled filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza must continue community service for four more years, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman said he considers D’Souza’s violation of federal campaign-finance laws to be evidence of a psychological problem and ordered further counseling.”
