The Obama administration wants to keep people collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if it is determined they are unable to manage their own affairs, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The push, which could potentially affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others, is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws that prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the United States illegally, and others, according to the paper.
The language of federal gun laws restricts ownership to people who are unable to manage their own affairs due to "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease which could potentially affect a large group within Social Security, the LA Times reported.
If Social Security, which has never taken part in the background check system, uses the same standard as the Department of Veterans Affairs which is the idea floated then millions of beneficiaries could be affected, with about 4.2 million adults receiving monthly benefits that are managed by representative payees.

Well, its not like there is a Constitution in
the Caliphate of the White Mosque.
Step by step, inch by inch...
Moving the ball further down the slippery slope...
buy a gun, or,
own a gun?
FUBO! I’m so amazed that this scumbum in the White Hut has done, and still doing, more damage to this nation than even the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan could do, combined. Nikita Khruschev is floating somewhere in the ether of the Afterlife laughing at us right now.
From this old guy’s perspective, we might as well be entertained by the huge cultural shifts occurring all around us as there is little we can do to change the zeitgeist of the day. My only hope is that my personal scorecard will be in my favor at the time of my demise. Bring it.
That’s right; there is no Constitution to protect us any more, but the American people don’t know that.
Are they going to get lifetime Secret Service protection, like the activist Muslim in the White Mosque, who can’t handle his own affairs?
So veterans on SSN who are disabled like they had a leg blown off and are in a wheel chair won’t be able to defend themselves....
FUBO
Buy your guns now and claim that they were lost in a “boating accident”.
Yep. Next it will be climate change deniers, and then people who don’t attend gay weddings.

Battles of Lexington and Concord
On April 19, 1775, British forces were returning to Boston from the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the opening engagements of the war. On their march, they were continually shot at by colonial militiamen.
Whittemore was in his fields when he spotted an approaching British relief brigade under Earl Percy, sent to assist the retreat. Whittemore loaded his musket and ambushed the British Grenadiers of the 47th Regiment of Foot from behind a nearby stone wall, killing one soldier. He then drew his dueling pistols and killed a grenadier and mortally wounded a second. By the time Whittemore had fired his third shot, a British detachment reached his position; Whittemore drew his sword and attacked. He was shot in the face, bayoneted numerous times, and left for dead in a pool of blood.
He was found by colonial forces, alive, trying to load his musket to fight again. He was taken to Dr. Cotton Tufts of Medford, who perceived no hope for his survival. However, Whittemore lived another 18 years until dying of natural causes at the age of 96.
====================
Obama-Lied would take away Samuel Whittemore's gun in a heartbeat.
The language of federal gun laws restricts ownership to people who are unable to manage their own affairs due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease
“condition or disease” could mean just about damned near ANYTHING!!!!
Are you OLD and on social Security?
Have a chronic case of allergies, NO GUN FOR YOU!
Just came down with cancer, NO GUN FOR YOU!
Do you have Arthritis, NO GUN FOR YOU!
Disagree with the liberal Administration and refused to answer if you have a gun in your house so their state hack shrink diagnosed you with Oppositional Defiance Disorder, NO GUN FOR YOU!
[ Yep. Next it will be climate change deniers, and then people who dont attend gay weddings. ]
Well “denial” is a “Condition” and “intolerance” is a “condition” too....
That is racist!
Not to mention 90% of liberals.
Bookmarked.
I don't know if Obama is trying to prod America into violent reaction as a pretext to declare martial law, of if he just simply going insane.
