Obama is extending gun background checks to Social Security recipients. This same strategy is being used to confiscate guns from veterans whose financial affairs are handled by others. This was a smaller grab, but this Social Security grab will affect a 4.2 million Americans!
About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees” and they would all be subject to gun confiscation.
Gun rights activists, mental health experts, advocates for the disabled and others are critical of the plan, according to the LA Times.
Handling one’s financial affairs does not correlate to irresponsible gun ownership.
If Social Security recipients lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs for any reason and to any degree, they could lose their guns.
Americans who receive Social Security benefits could all have to choose between their government benefits and their guns.
Bearing Arms calls it “extortion” which “will deny gun rights to the largest possible segment of Americans possible by executive fiat, with little recourse for those affected.”
What he is doing is picking off the Second Amendment with vulnerable group after vulnerable group so there will be less resistance, if any.
George Mason, who co-authored the second amendment, said at the Virginia Ratifying Convention, “I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”
The left is continually looking for ways to water down or eliminate the Second Amendment and they have been activated by the tragedy in Sandy Hook, an act committed by a deranged killer who used illegally-obtained guns to commit his crime.
This is how 1776 began and looks like a part 2.
You’re not getting my guns $#%&!@*.
Is Obummer facing the east, what a loser.
