What is a Social Security Gun Ban? Anyone on social security can’t have guns?

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.
Thanks Frank- I assumed it was anyone on SS-
“Adjudicated as a mental defective means people who — “as a result of marked subnormal intelligence, mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease” — lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, or are a danger to themselves or someone else. It also includes people found insane by a court in a criminal case, or found incompetent to stand trial, or not guilty by reason of lack of mental responsibility.”

We had those laws already really- only it was never the responsibility of the SS administration to ‘turn people in’- obama’s law however gave the power of the SS to do so- That is despicable- many many people no doubt got swept up who didn’t deserve to be- who were perfectly capable of owning and using guns without being a danger to anyone
Yeah- that red flag law is also despicable- anyone can call the police and say “so and so threatened me, and they have a gun in their house’ now- and the person becomes a felon, or at least has their guns confiscated with no due process- when no crime is committed-
