Do you know anyone who has decided to let someone else manage their finances? Just before Christmas, Obama finalized new rules banning Social Security recipients from buying a gun if they have trouble managing their finances.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted 235-180 to overturn that rule, with just two Democrats voting with the majority. This week, members of the Senate will face the same vote.
Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has 60 days to pass a resolution overruling the regulation.
About 10% of all people 65 and older risk being classified as "financially incompetent" — about 4.2 million in all.
The National Council on Disability argues that there is no connection between inability to manage money and inability to safely handle a firearm. Are people also at risk if they can't drive or do math? Where does it end? These people don't deserve to be denied their right to self-defense.
Should "mentally defective" people be forbidden from voting or making other decisions? But Democrats would be understandably upset if voters were required to pass a literacy or intelligence test.

Perhaps people who take over a “loved ones” finances will serve them better if the person they’re “helping” is armed.
CDH, MFs
If one is committed to an irrational, tyrannical cult mentality called “progressivism,” then almost any excuse can be used for controlling the behavior of those whose beliefs do not conform to that ideology’s rigid set of ideas.
My PERSONAL and not LEGAL opinion is that anyone who cannot manage their own money is not sharp enough to be a firearm owner.
I’ve met over a dozen vets who have their money sent to somebody else due to head issues and I would not issue a weapon to any of them.
And if the person uses an investment adviser to manage a sizable portfolio, then what? I refer to a legitimate adviser with a Series 7 license.
What do they fail to understand about SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED? It should have never been permitted to even be considered in the first place!
The second amendment does not bar freed felons or crazies from their God given right to self defense. Anyone who should not be armed should not be running around loose!
See post #7.
Yeah, I don’t know why these folks are loose on the streets either...
Democrats AGAIN?
Rush Limbaugh Newsletter Jan 2013 had points he was making on several topics- on gun control, this was his comments of how Democrats progress:
Fight begins: 1865,. Indeed, gun control is in the Democrat Party DNA, all the way back to its racist Civil War-era roots, when southern Democrats enacted “Black Codes” prohibiting emancipated slaves from owning guns or ammunition. Such blacks were only partly free; thanks to these Democrats, the core civil right of self defense was denied them.
The Brady Act needs to go too. If a veteran who carried a weapon into battle is determined by a waco VA doctor to be unable to manage their finances then they are ruled incompetent which means the Brady Act prevents them frim owning or having access to guns. It is shamful thing to tell a WWII vet who met the enemy on the battlefield that their country no longer trust them.
