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.

This was reported and I remember a discussion here on FR. Obama kept throwing things at us left and right so it was hard to keep up with everything. Looks like Trump may be just as busy undoing it all:-)
Why would a dictator want more citizens to firearms? I will have to get my liberal co-workers to explaint this to me. /S
WINNING, AGAIN!
“MSM will report that Trump is giving guns to crazy people.”
Good observation. That is exactly the talking point I have read. The left perverts all news and makes it fit for Alinsky.

I interpret that as 'approval'......hard telling what is true and not anymore.....
Now he needs to repeal 0bama’s last minute Lead Ammo Ban. (included lead fishing tackle)
Find a petition and sign it.
Awesome!
While the left whines about shoes on the couch, the President does the People’s work.
The MAN a billionaire stands buy his word.....imagine that he takes a dollar a year to be strafed by the media...and he shrugs it off as like walking on a blustery spring day....WATCH this great AMERICAN ....he will do behind closed doors what we as Americans always wanted congress to do.....support and defend our Representative Republic.
Great... the elderly are among the most vulnerable, and a gun is the only equalizer.
You might read the article again. President signed the law passed by the house and senate in February. This was not an executive order.
And what else did the partisan FAKE NEWS media cover up for this scum bag?
I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and was recently able to buy a handgun in Illinois with no problem. I didn’t even know about the Social Security ban.
depends on if\what the VA is reporting on us and who they are reporting to.
