Uh, just a thought. Is the ever present gun safety advocate (and her ass-tro-naught hubby margabby kellygiffords) who 'so strongly believe in the 2nd Amendment' possibly subject to this ruling? Does she receive SSI money? Can she balance a check book? Seems to me if that's the case, that all their beloved firearms would require removal from their home. I mean for safety reasons and all. There was a video of her at the range in Vegas shooting after the incident that left her with a certain mental deficiency and it showed margabby rushing out to secure her firearm as she started to turn towards the safe zone. Weird huh?

Should this also cover “Public Servants” that continually make DELIBERATE FALSE STATEMENTS??

YES

Should this also cover “Public Servants” that are Incapable of Balancing a Budget on behalf of the Public??

YES

That should cover about 95% of ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS IN THE US.

When I was a kid, we had this thing called The Bill of Rights in America. “Rights” weren’t just liberal psychobabble meaning more free stuff for the freeloaders.

[moovova]

SSA...don’t talk about it...just do it.

[DNME]

If things keep sliding into hell like they’ve been, we might need the help of the Greatest Generation one last time. Disarming them would be a huge mistake.

Somebody will need to fire the second “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” and they’re the only ones with balls enough to do it. Sad state of affairs that we need to rely on 90+ year old men to take the initiative for our freedom, but we’ve become a generation of delicate snowflakes and keyboard patriots. Heaven forbid that we would risk our own safety for something like liberty.

De facto they can disarm everyone going group by group. Older people, young people, former military people, those who have had a DUI, those who have had any physical issue such as poor eyesight, dizziness, those who take medications for anxiety or sleep disorders, those who are around small children, those on the no-fly list...the subgroups of ineligible is infinite and everybody could be found to fit in some subgroup.

If one is deprived of the ability to balance their lack of size and strength to defend themselves against the stronger and younger people then there should be private security provided around the clock at no expense, just as is done for public officials. Old people are already targeted by ne’er do wells who know they are fragile physically.

Unfortunately my gramps lost all his guns in a tragic boating accident.

“As is the case with the VA’s so-called ‘adjudication process’ the proposed SSA regulations contain confusing and ambiguous definitions of who constitutes a ‘representative payee,’ the criteria for appointing such a payee, and why the appointment of such a payee automatically classifies a Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiary as mentally defective for the purpose of NICS,” said a comment letter submitted to the SSA."

If somebody cannot handle their own money...and it has to be sent to another person to be doled out in the recipients best interest...they SHOULD NOT BE ENTITLED TO PURCHASE OR POSSESS a firearm.

Now, if somebody is gaming the system for some unknown reason, they should change their status and manage their won money and payments.

Their status is prima facie proof of mental illness/inadequacy. And federal law excludes them from firearm purchases.

[Biggirl]

People will end up lying about the guns and ammo part.

[skimbell]

Keep in mind.

It's Monday morning and this is WND.

[I want the USA back]

Why do you think doctors are now asking about guns in the house? It isn’t “to keep you safe”. Doctors now work for the government, and carry out the government’s wishes. The government has access to anything that the doctor reports to the health insurance carrier.
Why do you think they started obammycare?

[DoughtyOne]

You know folks, if it weren’t for all the “Seniors Gangs” roaming towns across America, I might be against this.

Oh wait!

What the hell?

What problem is this designed to resolve?

Once again our leaders spend their time solving problems that don’t exist, and ignore the ones that do.

[Organic Panic]

When the governmetn gives you something it can take away everything.

[Texas resident]

The recipients have the burden of proof?

That means guilty until proven innocent to a bunch of govt. drones.

Another version of a death panel.

[SMARTY]

How many ‘congressmen’ are over 60?

[EternalVigilance]

They can have my guns.

When all my ammo is gone, and I’m dead.

I won’t need it any more at that point.

This means the bottom line for Social Security recipients is the same as that for veterans. They are being denied their right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment without due process of law.

18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Carolyn W. Colvin
Acting Commissioner of Social Security

Carolyn W. Colvin believes there is no greater calling than public service. Putting her own retirement on hold, Ms. Colvin returned to public service at the request of President Barack Obama to serve as deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration in January 2011. Since February 14, 2013, Ms. Colvin has served as acting commissioner. Receiving the president’s vote of confidence to lead the agency, Ms. Colvin was nominated to serve as the commissioner on June 20, 2014.

Recently inducted into the National Forum for Black Public Administrators Hall of Fame and named one of the Baltimore Sun’s “50 Women to Watch,” Ms. Colvin brings more than 30 years of senior executive leadership experience to the agency. She has led numerous health and human service organizations at the state and municipal levels of government, including serving in various capacities within Social Security. Ms. Colvin also serves as a member of the Social Security Board of Trustees and a National Academy of Public Administration’s Fellow.

As acting commissioner, Ms. Colvin oversees one of the largest agencies in the federal government, with more than 60,000 federal employees nationwide plus another 18,000 state employees who make medical determinations in the disability program. Social Security is responsible for paying more than $800 billion each year in monthly benefits to more than 60 million recipients. The agency also maintains the lifetime earnings records of more than 165 million workers.

Under Ms. Colvin’s leadership, the agency strives to provide excellent customer service in today’s tight fiscal climate while positioning itself to deliver services in the future that meet the changing needs of the public. Acting Commissioner Colvin’s dedication to public service ensures the agency provides prompt, accurate, and compassionate service—whether online, by phone, or in a Social Security office. Ms. Colvin consistently reminds the staff that behind every case or number, there is a person or family depending on the agency for help.

Ms. Colvin received her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Business Administration and an honorary doctorate in Public Service from Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. She lives in Odenton, Maryland.
