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was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed.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

Obama pushes to extend gun background checks to Social Security
July 18, 2015
“The push is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally and others.”

No Guns for Pensioners? President Obama is reportedly pushing to bar some Social Security recipients from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs.
“WHAT’S TRUE: The Obama administration is seeking to use Social Security Administration data about disability recipients to enforce existing gun purchase restrictions.
“WHAT’S FALSE: President Obama is planning to bar all Social Security recipients from owning guns.”

All it was is the updating of some basics to bring systems inline with what was already the law. If you are mentally unstable (as in bat$#%&!@*crazy) by medical condition to the point of being a danger to yourself or others, you are supposed to be registered in the system to prevent you from buying a firearm. Some systems in the federal structure were still behind in getting up to speed. This was just about getting things up to speed.
