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administration was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed.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.

If people would actually read the article, they would see his EO would prevent the mentally unstable who are in the SSA database from being able to pass a background check which is required before purchasing a weapon from a FFL.
This would not prevent straw buys or purchasing guns through private sales however.
As a strong 2nd Amendment supporter, this is,a step in the right direction as many of the mass shootings has been committed by people with known mental issues who were legally able to purchase guns.
This is an illegal law that will not be upheld.
I propose an executive order by trump when wins to with hold all checks after they leave office till voted on by the people. Bet they will start thinking twice then.
Time for civil disobedience to answer this UNDOCUMENTED government worker!
Watch !!! C. D. I. HELL
It’s unconstitutional and he will lose in court or when Donald Trump wins he will tear up that order and all his unconstitutional orders
criminal actions yet again…. social security was paid into by those who work; it’s their money…In essence he is stealing from those people.
