Pete Buttigieg Wants More Background Checks, Reinstatement of Social Security Gun Ban
breitbart.com ^ | 4/20/2019 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/20/2019 10:40:31 AM PDT by rktman

Democrat presidential hopeful Mayor Pete Buttigieg supported gun controls Barack Obama pushed, as well as the gun control “framework” Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns sought.

Buttigieg’s gun control support, documented through the years on his own Twitter account, shows his support of everything from Obama’s push to criminalize private gun sales via universal background checks to Bloomberg’s overarching gun control agenda. When Obama was in office, Buttigieg tweeted:

Pete Buttigieg ✔ @PeteButtigieg

I'm with the majority of Americans (& gun owners) who agree with @POTUS that we need universal background checks to help #StopGunViolence

Anyone on social security can’t have guns?

I had to look it up myself. It's like this:

Social Security Gun Grab.

it tried to prevent gun ownership by people on the Social Security disability rolls who use a representative payee to help with their finances.

One notes the complete absence of those two little words "Due process". As usual.

Pete’s candidacy will play well in the South, Midwest, and Northern Prairie states. Yep, Southerners will line up in droves and vote for a homosexual Mayor of a mid-size city who wants to take away your guns.


The first wife to become president. That should bring a lot of folks around.

What is a Social Security Gun Ban? Anyone on social security can’t have guns?
//////////////////////////
https://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/trump-nixed-gun-control-rule/

Had to do with a check on any Soc.Security recipient with mental problems. A narrow group but a limit on the right to bear arms.

Like the Red Flag where any man’s spiteful ex wife or ex girlfriend can call in a phony threat report (he is unstable, I think he’s nuts and dangerous....)and the authorities will confiscate his guns for months while a final court ruling finishes a long time later. Also, the man could get a felony rap if the feds break in and he shoots or punches them in the dark, assuming it’s local “teens” ready to rob and kill him in bed.

Dangerous rule that must be stopped.

Because it’s those recipients, who have a 3rd party designated to receive their SS check, that are doing all the killings in Chicago.

Correct me, if I am wrong, but my understanding is that anyone receiving social security is banned from owning a gun, regardless whether or not they are managing their affairs themselves.

Buttigieg also supports restoring the gun ban for Social Security recipients.

That is because a lot of senior citizens have been using their guns for home invasions and to shoot up schools, banks, churches and bingo halls. /s

The big point was if you were declared disabled and someone else had financial responsibility for you, Obama considered you too disabled to have a gun and you were put on the prohibited list. But many people used that to let their kids run their finances for convenience rather than mental incapacity.

Buttigieg was said to be worried about rumors some highly unfavorable tapes exist which will soon be made public.
My question: In today’s degraded,debauched and devolved America where he has a “husband” and attacks religious people outright, what secret would be bad enough to worry him?

Pee Wee’s was supposed to be that the star was bisexual and the woman didn’t suspect. In the sequel (circus one) he made love to two different women, two timing them and using them for his carnal desires without remorse.

My son has cancer and is forced to apply for SS disability.
My wife is at his house right now opening his mail and paying his bills.

Under that law my son would lose all the guns he already lost in a tragic boating accident.

Thanks. In the meantime I did read other posts and including one that referred to another website where they clarified it.

Some greedy lawyers should sue him and his campaign under;

USC Title 18 sec. 242
Deprivation of Rights under color of law

and

USC Title 18 sec.241
conspiracy to commit.
