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was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed.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

This person needs to be removed from the Oval Office. If Congress had the ball he would have been IMPEACHED long ago.
Susan Colwell-Frederick Not true.It will not take guns away from anyone who is qualified to own one.
Does anyone bother to read what it ACTUALLY says? PEOPLE 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. Jesus Christ, take some reading comprehension classes. I am PRO-GUN rights and Anti-Obama/Killary.
very easy NOT ALL “mental illness” is a threat to self or others. Many veterans have mental health issues because of their physical issues. I know veterans that can manage their own affairs but have depression because of their phsyical imparements and they also get social security as well. But because of the way this is worded those veterans and others like them may not be able to own a gun now.
He can’t do that!
Social Security is not benefit; it’s our hard-earned money we saved for retirement!
An executive order is not a law unless it passes the house and the senate.. therefor it is not constitutional to enforce
Now we are talking about Social Security that the people fund? The program that the$#%&!@*politicians raid and IOU billions from the people’s money? This idiot thinks it’s his money! Kiss my$#%&!@*
it is self preservation, after the way he treats seniors he sure dont want them with a gun,ha
Screw him.
