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was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed.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

What a sad article to write. The author is either dishonest or is an idiot. I suspect someone failed Journalism Ethics 101.
we should be able to opt out of SS then.
Step by step removing rights it will be fast tracked if Hillary is elected.
POS
This fucking guy!! 🙁
True Americans do not care what he does anymore, they are ignoring him , for what he has done to this country.
He’s doing the people’s work in spite of a do-nothing Congress. http://www.gallup.com/poll/186236/americans-desire-stricter-gun-laws-sharply.aspx
Guy how is that the people’s work? I’m an Army vet and in no way a danger to myself or anyone else and I receive disability. How does your liberal agenda get to impede my rights?
National statistics show, that more people die every year by slipping and falling than are killed by Fire arms. You should get your people to start a national campaign over it!$#%&!@*Hillary has a bigger body count! Yet You back Her! Oh wait you need facts! I guess over 100 Dead bodies are not enough for you! Keep your eye on the bubble!
There must be a great deal of anxiety among those gun owners who defraud the government to collect SSI benefits for f**e mental health issues. But I f you’re factually too mentally ill to hold down a job and need my tax money to pay your rent, you’ve got no right running around with a firearm. Stop making this about Obama when the majority of Americans including law-abiding gun owners want guns out of the hands of mentally unstable individuals.
You need to get your facts straight. SSI is Supplemental Security Income, it is collected by people who have not worked enough to earn the 40 points to collect Social security. SSD is what someone who is mentally ill would collect. I am on SSD for severe back problems which has required several surgeries so it is impossible for me to work as an RN. Do you think that I shouldn’t be able to purchase a firearm? By the way, I just purchased a .38 revolver 3 months ago with no problems, in New York State.
Mentally ill or not, Americans have a GOD given right to protect and defend themselves.
“Shall not be infringed” means just that, it does not require or need further defining!
And BTW, mentally illness is not a crime and IT IS NOT the same as mentally challenged or handicapped
