Does this exempt people who are 65 and over ?
If the dumbass Kenyan wants to play this game, then ALL DemocRAT voter registration lists should also be sent to NICS.
Is he assuming that all those getting SS have mental health problems???
Senior discount at your local dealer.
A damned good reason to not buy from a FFL or apply for a carry permit.
President Ted Cruz will rescind all this BS!
Obama trying to beat his own Gun Salesman of the Year numbers.
He is now definitely Salesman of the Century.
The problem with this story is it doesn’t make any reference to a specific person, case, or any legal fight. It drops a narrative and the reader is supposed to accept all of its assertions. Does anyone else see a problem here?
Please be advised, it’s not just guns. It’s everything. If you are over 65 and you go to your doctor, this year you will get a survey asking a lot of personal questions. Do you own a gun, but that’s just the beginning. They want to know if your furniture is safely arranged, what are your habits, how do you spend your time, how long have you smoked, how long have you consumed alcohol, etc. They are intruding in your life at every level and in every way. Guns are just one small part. The arrogance of this government is boundless. They do not see us as fully human. We are just chips on a board to be manipulated by them.
After a little investigating, it appears this ONLY applies to people receiving SS benefits who have a “representative payee”; e.g. people who have acknowledged that they are not mentally competent to manage their own affairs and have asked/had someone else appointed to manage their finances. I personally don’t think that there should be any limits on who can own a gun, if you are not in prison, you should be able to own a gun. I am just mentioning this to limit the knee jerk FR reaction of those who won’t read the article who will conclude that everyone on social security will lose their guns; that is clearly not the case here.
Most of the gun violence has been done by relatively you people, Major Hassan was probably the oldest, and he’s a Muslim.
Older people, sepecially veterans, were trained in firearms, and thus firearm safety. Veterans typically love America are not as likely to be mass shooters.
Seniors are not as able to protect themselves physically, but their weapon is the equalizer.
Obama acts as though he wants to make it easier for thugs to rob, maim, and do home invasions, unfettered. How long before gangs of gimmedats just stroll into your house and take whatever they want, including your house?
Guilty until proven innocent with no way to prove one’s innocence.
Stalin would approve!
he better be careful moving about
his name is on several other lists
I will hand it back, blank.
It’s a damn foot in the door. Social Security has no business involving itself in such matters.
>> ... then ALL DemocRAT voter registration lists should also be sent to NICS.
That would include me, Sir. Following in dear old dad’s footsteps, I’ve spent my 50 years as a registered ‘RAT, happily screwing up their primaries by voting for all their loosers. (-:
The year cannot be over quickly enough....well assuming hilary deos not get elected.
Dom is retured a few years and worked 40 years depite having his legs crushed in MC accident. He collects SS.
This gets my guard up. It was zero at my house this morning.
I said even the celestials get it!!! Zero.
Tyranny doesn’t always arrive with tanks, goose-stepping troops, and colorful banners.
Sometimes it just sneaks in quietly.
I figured there was more to this than the article mentioned. Still, appointing a representative payee is *not* equivalent to being adjudicated mentally incompetent. Therefore, this is still a huge infringement.
