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administration was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed.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:
“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.”
COME AND TAKE IT,$#%&!@*
It is time for congress to limit who executive orders can apply to. They should only apply to employees of the federal government and cannot circumvent US Law. they cannot apply to US citizens or Contractors with the Federal Government.
if you read it only applies for those who have been adjusted to be mentally unfit
would only apply to those who have been adjudged mentally incompetent
good luck taking mine motherfucker
More BS.
I agree Jean.
Doesnt say anywhere in the Constitution about the word If…Social Security is a retirement insurance. .it is Not a government hand out…i had money taken out of each and every paycheck to pay the premium. .so this Asshat can stick it..one does not have anything to do with the other ..
The Constitution does however say that a foreign born person CANNOT hold tbe office of president…and you snuck in with your lies…
Consider yourself lucky,for now. ..
You are right.. He was born in Kenya… with all the voter fraud, rigging voting machines ,etc. could be how he made it in office… he was groomed in Bill Ayers home and was selected !
It also doesn’t say felonies can’t have guns either! Shall not be infringed
This is why the founders put this in the Constitution. Non-US BORN persons are not capable of understanding, they don’t get it. Kenyans don’t have the mentality to be president. Hes a disgrace. He is not a so-called Constitutional scholar. He taught Constitutional law part-time a day or so a month.
