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No doubt the administration hopes this slow creep of new regulations will go undetected until it is too late to be repealed.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

all i can say he better move out of this country
how about taking the welfare checks from someone who owns one. Oh yeah they gets theirs illegally
AND… everyone said… “obama is not after your guns!!!” Well… you can keep believing that all the way to the internment camps… and hillary will finish what he started…
It hasd no weight of law.
Not all SSI collectors!! Per the article -“Current law prohibits individuals from buying a gun if, because of a mental health issue, they are either a danger to themselves or others or are unable to manage their own affairs. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has indicated that it will begin the rulemaking process to ensure that appropriate information in its records is reported to NICS. The reporting that SSA, in consultation with the Department of Justice, is expected to require will cover appropriate records of the approximately 75,000 people each year who have a documented mental health issue, receive disability benefits, and are unable to manage those benefits because of their mental impairment, or who have been found by a state or federal court to be legally incompetent. The rulemaking will also provide a mechanism for people to seek relief from the federal prohibition on possessing a firearm for reasons related to mental health.”
Thank you for actually reading the article and debunking the hysteria-producing headline!
never happen
This is old news and I have been following it as I am getting close for getting SSI now. Obama has done what he can to limit gun ownership and if H wins she will finish it.
He knows our numbers our power is decreasing along with our numbers and we’re easy marks for what amounts to legal theft.
This is false. If you read the whole thing before reacting, you will see what I figured out before even reading it. There are people receiving benefits because they have mental health problems so severe they need guardians. They are ones who should be on a list restricting gun ownership.
