“”knee jerk FR reaction””
Knee jerk reaction on FR? Surely, you jest!!!
Thanks for checking it out more.
Not an autopsy, Goulish!
He’s still be alive, but without anesthetic.
Social Security Administration recipients who have a representative payee have not been deemed “mentally incompetent.†That is not a legal term recognized in federal law as it relates to prohibitions against acquiring or possessing firearms.
The federal prohibitions against acquiring or possessing firearms apply to those “adjudicated as a mental defective.â€
Under the proposed new policy, individuals who have representative payees would lose the right to possess any guns they might currently own and would be prohibited from purchasing new firearms. (This is being pursued as new policy by Obama. Anyone who, for whatever reason receiving disability benefits who has a representative payee/trustee of sorts will have his./her guns taken!!!)
The term “adjudication,†refers to a determination made after a judicial-type process that includes various due process protections. In no case does the federal law describe or contemplate the type of prohibition by bureaucratic fiat exercised by the SSA in developing its guidelines for those with “representative payees†assigned to their accounts.
“”I have never heard of it either, but I am under the age of 65.””
My only advice to you is “STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES” so there will be more joy to growing old than making/keeping more doctor appointments than you ever did in all the other years added together. My husband and I retired at 70, relocated and the last 10 years have been a steady parade to/from doctors and hospitals. Before that, we saw doctors once a year for physicals and myself for the usual female checkups.
We were too conservative to enjoy the opportunities we had to have some fun. So listen well!!!!!!
Nah-But “O” is not convinced yet that we know just how f%#@ed up he IS-So he’s trying to get it across to us (satire)
Someone tell Clair Wolff that we’ve passed that awkward time...
Our local Cabela’s is having GREAT DEALS on handguns this week.
I’m trying to find ways to cut my bills so I can STOCK UP before I really get old and senile!
“I wants one of them, one of them, two of them, oh yea, one of them!” CHARGE IT!
They mean SSI,not basic SS.
The article,like many on The Web,is misleading.
It’s all bull anyway.
.
“applies to people receiving SS benefits who have a “representative payeeâ€; 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 would also think they should also be declared ineligible to vote.
Maybe all you high & mighty lawyers, bureaucrats & central planners might want to rethink this idea, hmmmm?
Exactly!
I'll guarantee that most of Congress, the chattering class and the Hollywood elite have 'financial managers' to handle their incoming checks!
(ooops, bad example. Most of the above ARE 'mentally incompetent'!)
You mean, aside from both being an infringement upon an inalienable Right?

I note they don’t go after the one area where old age *does* play a detriment to the safety of the public at large...DRIVING.
IMO, it’s been asinine to allow licenses to be so easily re-issued after age 65 (I’m just throwing a # out there). Can’t see over the wheel, confuse gas w/ the brakes, 40MPH in the passing lane of the hwy, etc.
I’m not over 65, but lying to (denouncing and not cooperating with) Satan is not a sin.
From what source did you copy this from?
It has those crazy, worthless symbols indicating that the text hasn’t been washed.
(Furthermore, when is this website going to correct this problem? Many of us contribute good money to the maintenance of Free Republic.)
So have many so called Conservative Republicans.
In the entire Congress you will find only five true Conservatives.
I am happy in my choice to be a ‘far right wing conspirator’.
Can’t recall. May have been from the NRA or an email I received.
