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was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed.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

haha yep
What are they gonna do? come to our houses and get killed? Nobody and I do mean nobody will live to tell about it if they tried it with me. I’m not ready for a fight. I’m ready for a war and so is the entire neighborhood where I live.

Over my old dead body
From what I read, the SSA will only be reporting those individuals who are receiving SS and are mentally a danger to themselves or others or are mentally unable to manage their own affairs. Nowhere in the article did it say anything about all SS recipients being deprived of their 2A rights.
Bronx cheer time — again!
The Social Security Administration has announced the details of a new rule that would bar many receiving federal disability payments from owning firearms. The proposed rule is part of President Obama’s push to tighten gun laws while bypassing Congress.May 9, 2016
It’s threads like this that should remind us why civics needs to be taught better in grade school… Clearly very few actually understands how the separation of government works with our existing checks and balances system. Executive Orders are not law… They are a ‘Policy/Procedure’ for the Executive Branch and its subordinate Departments.
Think back really really hard I know it hurts. When Abraham Lincoln issued his Executive Order (Gettysburg Address) it wasn’t ‘Law of the Land’ until Congress amended the Constitution.
