Barack Obama is once again circumventing the legislative process in order to push his administration’s unpopular leftist agenda. First, it was illegal immigration, then transgender bathrooms. This time, it’s guns.
Earlier this year, the White House announced new policies for those receiving social security benefits in conjunction with the president’s January 5th executive order on gun ownership. When it was released, few seemed to notice that the order allowed the administration to withhold Second Amendment rights from those who collect social security.
The move makes little logical sense. Social Security beneficiaries have never proven themselves as particularly violent or incapable of gun ownership. Instead, it seems as if this is part of Obama’s larger plan to slowly and surreptitiously restrict gun ownership whenever and wherever possible.
The administration was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed. Fortunately, the watchful eyes of conservative media caught them in the act.
See Obama’s secret gun ban on the next page:
does he not get has has laws he has to follow
Executive orders are to be for the executive branch only. He is not a dictator!
He is a small pimple of a man ! His days are numbered, and not soon enough !
Seems rather reasonable if you read the actual document that can be found on whitehouse.gov “Include information from the Social Security Administration in the background check system about beneficiaries who are prohibited from possessing a firearm. 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.”
Fiction, pure and simple. Do a little homework, before you believe this c**p.
Idiots believe this garbage.
Another idiot heard from. Turn off Fox, read a newspaper.
Nobody pays attention to that f**e, You can suspend all you want, you got to come and get it.
He can’t do this.
That’s not even remotely what this executive order states. It has to do with people who have been identified with severe mental illnesses, receiving disability benefits, and are unable to find employment as a result of their mental illness AND their history shows that they are danger to themselves and others.
