Barack Obama has once again circumvented America’s legislative process to push his administration’s unpopular leftist agenda. This time he’s pushing his anti-gun politics, just as he has with illegal immigration policy and the transgender bathrooms issue.
The White House announced new policies earlier this year for those receiving social security benefits in conjunction with President Obama’s January 5th executive order on gun ownership. Few seemed to notice, when it was revealed, that the order granted the administration power to withhold Second Amendment rights from those who collect social security!
The move makes little logical sense, unless you’re a Socialist keen on pushing the United States toward totalitarian rule. Beneficiaries of Social Security have never proven themselves to be particularly violent or incapable of gun ownership. It really seems this is part of Obama’s overall scheme to slowly and surreptitiously limit gun ownership whenever and wherever possible.
No doubt the administration hopes this slow creep of new regulations will go undetected until it is too late to be repealed. But the watchful eyes of conservative media caught them in the act.

How is properly reporting mental health issues, which is already in place, taking guns away from people who are qualified to own them. We keep old people from driving all the time. If you are going to be so ridgid in your views the guns may be taken from your cold dead hand.
another phony story
This meme is a steaming pile of b******t aimed at ignorant, gullible rubes.
I want a check in the amount of SS I have paid in over the last 35 years. I will take responsibility of my retirement dollars and you can go f#%@ yourself! I will also retain my rights as a legal US citizen
Jackie Childers Figures…mental health “professionals” need to live in reality and stop trying to “assess” everyone. Our Rights are just that Our Rights!
Get a life! The majority of murders with guns have ILLEGAL guns. A background check or law will not change or stop that. Leave the citizens with guns alone! I just pray you don’t need help…you would be one of the last ones I protect with my gun…just sayin’…
This site should be called truth? No fiction. Ridiculous that anyone would believe this.
John Martin No – it will not be up to SS to determine who is mental enough to own a weapon – they will only report the information in their files that shows an individual is receiving benefits and has be adjudicated by request of a family member or a court appointed guardian – as being mentally unable to handle their own affairs –
If you are a Medicare recipient, you have an annual mental health screening where the questioner has some latitude as to the questions he or she asks. This is the door through which this devious man uses to deprive Senior Citizens of their 2nd Amendment Rights. Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers mental health services and visits with these types of health professionals:
• Psychiatrist or other doctor
• Clinical psychologist
• Clinical social worker
• Clinical nurse specialist
• Nurse practitioner
• Physician assistant
Medicare only covers these visits, often called counseling or therapy, when they’re provided by a health care provider who accepts assignment.
Part B covers outpatient mental health services, including services that are usually provided outside a hospital (like in a clinic, doctor’s office, or therapist’s office) and services provided in a hospital’s outpatient department. Part B also covers outpatient mental health services for treatment of inappropriate alcohol and drug use. Part B helps pay for these covered outpatient services:
• One depression screening per year. The screening must be done in a primary care doctor’s office or primary care clinic that can provide follow-up treatment and referrals.
• Individual and group psychotherapy with doctors or certain other licensed professionals allowed by the state where you get the services.
• Family counseling, if the main purpose is to help with your treatment.
• Testing to find out if you’re getting the services you need and if your current treatment is helping you.
• Psychiatric evaluation.
• Medication management.
• Certain prescription drugs that aren’t usually “self administered”(drugs you would normally take on your own), like some injections.
• Diagnostic tests.
• Partial hospitalization.
• A one-time “Welcome to Medicare” preventive visit. This visit includes a review of your potential risk factors for depression.
• A yearly “Wellness” visit. This is a good time to talk to your doctor or other health care provider about changes in your mental health so they can evaluate your changes year to year.
Who’s eligible?
All people with Part B are covered.
Your costs in Original Medicare
• You pay nothing for your yearly depression screening if your doctor or health care provider accepts assignment.
• 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for visits to a doctor or other health care provider to diagnose or treat your condition. The Part B deductible applies.
• If you get your services in a hospital outpatient clinic or hospital outpatient department, you may have to pay an additional copayment or coinsurance amount to the hospital.
Note
To find out how much your specific test, item, or service will cost, talk to your doctor or other health care provider. The specific amount you’ll owe may depend on several things, like other insurance you may have, how much your doctor charges, whether your doctor accepts assignment, the type of facility, and the location where you get your test, item, or service.
Note
Your doctor or other health care provider may recommend you get services more often than Medicare covers. Or, they may recommend services that Medicare doesn’t cover. If this happens, you may have to pay some or all of the costs. It’s important to ask questions so you understand why your doctor is recommending certain services and whether Medicare will pay for them.
