If you've got a gun and you receive Social Security, you are now being targeted by the Obama administration.
In the latest stealth effort by the Communist administration, the Social Security Administration is wanting to list the names of those who receive Social Security benefits to the National Instant Check System (NICS) as "prohibited persons." This would effectively ban them from being able to purchase a gun and would target those who already own guns.
It would also be a clear violation of the Fifth Amendment's due process clause.
The LA Times has the story:
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."
If Social Security, which has never participated in the background check system, uses the same standard as the VA, millions of its beneficiaries would be affected. About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by 'representative payees.'
The Veterans Administration has been involved in this for years now, as they have sought to disarm our veterans, those who have fought to defend the very rights they are being deprived. My good friend Leon Puissegur seems to have been targeted in such a manner.
Just like the VA, the Social Security Administration would have no judicial oversight, which would mean they would end up violating the Constitutional rights of American citizens under the Second and Fifth Amendments.
We already know that the NICS system is being used to build a database, despite it being against the law to do so.
Owning a gun is not a crime. Being a veteran is not a crime. Being elderly is not a crime. Even being marked as having "subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease" is not a crime. Therefore, people's rights should not be infringed because a mentally ill, criminal usurper thinks they should be.
Any way this criminal administration can think of restricting or confiscating guns, they are looking to do it. Whether it is through the Veterans Administration, more background checks, or putting people on a random no-fly list, they are openly defying God, the people and the Constitution.
What Americans need to keep their eyes on is the simple fact that the united States Constitution does not grant any authority to DC politicians to write law nor impose by executive order the restriction of guns for citizens. Congress doesn't have that authority, the Executive Branch doesn't have that authority and neither does the Judicial Branch. This is a usurpation and always has been because every federal gun law is unconstitutional!
So if your well off enough to have someone else manage you affairs you to unstable to own a gun.
These assholes never rest
Someone can be incapable of managing their funds but not be dangerous, violent or unsafe.
Such as seniors with poor memories still having check books using duplicate check copies in their checkbooks to keep from forgetting to log written checks, or seniors who never could balance a checkbook.
But, liberalism paints its enemies with a broad brush.
He is truly a complex sociopath whose brain should be examined thoroughly in an effort to see what makes him tick.
Perhaps Dr. Carson could conduct the operation.
Too bad he didn’t have a frontal lobotomy years ago.
Damned shame all my guns went to the bottom during that horrible boating accident....
So don’t answer the survey, or else find another doctor.
Thanks for that work.
But we still must not forget that the journey of a 1000 miles begins with but just one step. :0)
How do you manage selecting from such a large pool?
And the Quisling socialist Republican party has been right at the usurper’s side helping him every step of the way. It is as if we have a muzzie loving traitorous speaker of the house and majorities in the house and senate. Oh wait, my bad, we do.
I do not own any of my guns. Some of what I might have had outlived their owners by decades - others that I may have had are younger, sure to outlive me. Yet, they will still exist - somewhere.
This, actually, I understand
I personally have first hand knowledge of an inadvertent Murder of Spouse by a mentally compromised Veteran. A WWII vet mistook his own wife for an intruder, shot and killed her, and then calmly called 911 to report the event, when the Police got there, he still thought he had shot an intruder.
When one is a Neurologist, one hears some very scary stories... This one was the patient of a partner. I was on call that night and it was... unpleasant.
“These assholes never rest”
Just look at Bernie Sanders. An old communist fool who will not let it go. Still wants to control everyone.
If you collect SS and have H and R Block do your tax returns or Turbo Tax has to fly in a smart person to help you do your return, then no gun for you?
What’s the problem here? Just lie through your teeth. That way, not only are you “complying’” but any data the Gestapo collects will be so riddled with garbage as to be virtually unusable.
“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.””
That’s scary, so you can be denied because you are an amputee.
I got one of these ‘Community Surveys” a few years ago and ran it through the shredder.
Sounds good if it's part of an autopsy.
“”If you are over 65 and you go to your doctor, this year you will get a survey asking a lot of personal questions””
Where are you getting this information from? Hasn’t happened to either my husband or myself this year or any other year.
Sounds like two different things.
The Community Survey is basically the intrusive long form sent out by the Census Bureau to some, but not all, households.
What Essie is talking about is an intrusive form doctors give to their patients who are over 65. I’ve never heard of this form, then again, I am under the age of 65.
Perhaps this form is something new, just ramping up.
I have never heard of it either, but I am under the age of 65.
Just one example of many: CORKER (TN)
