On a day when legislation benefiting women and black colleges and universities was signed with much pomp and circumstance, President Trump quietly followed through on his pledge to defend the Second Amendment by signing the repeal of Barack Obamas Social Security gun ban. The U.S, House voted to repeal the ban on February 2 and the Senate voted to repeal it on February 15.
The ban was fashioned behind closed doors in the summer of 2015 and Breitbart News reported:
The specific details of the ban are unknown, as it is being put together outside of public view. But the LA Times reports that a ban on gun possession due to inability to handle finances would be sweeping; that it would cover those who are unable to manage their own affairs for a multitude of reasonsfrom subnormal intelligence or mental illness to incompetency, an unspecified condition, or disease.
The Times notes that the finances of roughly 4.2 million Social Security beneficiaries are handled by someone else.
As bits and pieces of the ban continued to be revealed over the following months, it was evident that Social Security beneficiaries who required help managing their finances were in jeopardy of losing their Second Amendment rights. An overview of the banprovided by the Social Security Administration (SSA)showed it was structured so that persons under mental duress and requiring help with their finances could be investigated by the SSA, then turned over to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to be barred from gun purchases.

Energizer President. We keep winning and winning and winning.
Thank You President Trump!
What else did that sonofabitch pretender to the presidency do when no one was looking?
Thank you dear President Trump for undoing what that bastard has done. Now please put him and the Clintons in Jail.
this is what happens down the rabbit holes of the EO’s...Malia and Sasha become ‘senior white house staff’ to go to africa and the peoples guns get taken away...
do the same for the VA vets.
WIN WIN WIN!
GO TRUMP!
now, DRAIN the Obama-infested SWAMP at Snake Dept and in our intelligence, defense, and security agencies especially
These Executive Orders are welcome but I would like to see them backed up by law to eliminate the possibility of another insane democrat coming along and overriding them with another Executive Order.
The republican senate and congress have a uniqe two year window to get things done. They can pass laws with majorities in both houses and a republican president.
They need to get off their lazy butts and start doing instead of talking and promising.

AGREE on the EO’s
BUT
This one passed the House & Senate and he signed it...SO would imagine it is a properly executed piece of legislation... I think...<: <: <:
Yes, I hope Bannon, Kellyanne and other Trump staffers are going through each and every Obama EO during his eight years of Presidency. When I first heard of this one about a month ago, I was horrified.
Obamas midnight EO: ". . a ban on gun possession due to inability to handle finances would be sweeping; that it would cover those who are unable to manage their own affairs for a multitude of reasonsfrom subnormal intelligence or mental illness to incompetency, an unspecified condition, or disease.
I forgot to sign a check the other day. And yes, I have a few "conditions" and one or two "diseases" but I am basically of sound mind and can damn well shoot straight. They indeed did sneak this under our noses.
“These Executive Orders are welcome but I would like to see them backed up by law to eliminate the possibility of another insane democrat coming along and overriding them with another Executive Order.”
You think that would stop somebody like Obama? Laws? We don’t need no stinkin laws!
That means they are not going to take away my Ivers-Johnson, single shot, break-away, 410.
Thank you Sir.
WINNING!!
....These Executive Orders are welcome but I would like to see them backed up by law...
...The U.S, House voted to repeal the ban on February 2 and the Senate voted to repeal it on February 15....
Since the House and Senate passed this, it was not a suggestion. It was a Bill that went to the President’s desk where he signed it into law.
Sounds good.
Not sure how that works.
Well thats another WIN ..... Gonna Snoopy dance my old ass over to the fridge and crack open a cold Shiner Bock in celebration !!!
