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No doubt the administration hopes this slow creep of new regulations will go undetected until it is too late to be repealed.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.

His gun reform act has nothing to do with those of us in good mental and physical health……his amendment to the original expands the right of the STATES to remove weapons from those households where there are people that fall under STRICT mental health limitations……….so that we dont have kids in EMO situations taking mommys gun adn killing school kids because hes had a bad weekend on XBOX……..it has NOTHING to do with anyone NOT under mental health care……read the entire law on this
As someone who works with many severely ill mental health recipients of SSDI, I would totally support this order. Most of them would also agree.
Read it, it’s not about senior citizen. It’s about severely ill individuals on disability who can’t manage their own affairs.
PEOPLE,PEOPLE,PEOPLE, THIS IS FALSE !!!!
Totally agree with you Pat. If you are receiving SS disability because you are mentally incapable of taking care of your own affairs you are not someone who should have access to guns. That is a far cry from mentally healthy retirees on Social Security who can still own and buy guns.
I guess George Soros told Mr Obama to do this…
Karen Real Then you don’t know any police or military in Louisiana I’m guessing, because they went door to door confiscating weapons from homeowners trying to protect their property during Katrina.
Again, Obama is daydreaming. But again, he never bothered to read the Constitution.
When will our so-called leaders in Congress take action to stop this man’s violation of our fundamental rights?
Once again, actually reading the article helps. Many older people have mental impairment; it just says they are going to screen for this as social security recipients are older and more likely to be impaired and thus unable to handle firearms safely. The vast majority of Americans prefer that the mentally impaired not have guns, for obvious reasons. This is not some sinister, blanket prohibition of social security recipients having guns, as this post suggests. Just slanted and biased to what you want to believe.
