Back in 2008 Barack Obama promised his supporters that he would not take their guns.
““I believe in the Second Amendment. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away… But I am not going to take your guns away. So if you want to find an excuse not to vote for me, don’t use that one because it just ain’t true. It ain’t true.”

His campaign also ran this ad:
“Barack Obama WON’T Take Away Your Gun…”
But that was in 2008.
Now this…
Barack Obama is looking to ban Social Security recipients from owning guns as part of his new gun control policies.
FOX News reported:
“The Obama administration wants to keep people collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if it is determined they are unable to manage their own affairs, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The push, which could potentially affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others, is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws that prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the United States illegally, and others, according to the paper.
The language of federal gun laws restricts ownership to people who are unable to manage their own affairs due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease” – which could potentially affect a large group within Social Security, the LA Times reported.
If Social Security, which has never taken part in the background check system, uses the same standard as the Department of Veterans Affairs – which is the idea floated – then millions of beneficiaries could be affected, with about 4.2 million adults receiving monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.”
The latest move is part of the efforts by President Obama to strengthen gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012.
yes, because elderly retired people are responsible for soooo much gun violence every year.
And who will determine that I wonder?
Just like they did with VA disabled veterans............
Slime will slip through the smallest crack in a brick wall. Give odumbo the opportunity to take guns away from folks due to no fault of their own, he will have slipped through the first crack, seeking another and another to eventually take ALL guns away from everyone. He is only using the vulnerable people, who certainly are not a great threat to society, to get through that first crack.
Words cannot describe the hate I have for that bastard.
I predict a rash of tragic boating accidents.
An inch here, and inch there...
Those wilth marked subnormal intelligence, incompetency, and mental illness should not be allowed to vote either.
Presto! 80% of the Dem’s constituency disappears!
I don’t own any weapons. They all belong to a trust.
gee why not just take the power away from someone whom is a delusional narcissitic demented power hungry lunatic. The man is unfit for any type of office and the longer he is there he shows that he is absolutely NUTS. I strongly believe he thinks that if he can just get rid of the right to bear arms he will be able to achieve his utopia - the United Socialist States of Sharia where the Muslims are in control and the Whites are planted underground.
Right. AND the elderly are SO much more able to defend themselves.
Out Son of a B^%#* President is at it again!
It is more at the several million who get Social Security Disability Income with claims of depression, back pain, bipolar (yes, some people are actually disabled due to these conditions).
The SSDI program is projected to go broke in the next 2-3 years.
A side benefit of this ruling may be a million or so people who aren’t really disabled but taking the money because they are “depressed” after long periods of unemployment, getting off SSDI and going back to work. Or at least fewer people deciding that SSDI with SNAP (food stamps), discounted utilities, Medicaid, discounted phone and internet and so forth isn’t worth signing up for.
Bout time we got all the senile geezers off the streets, shooting up all those black teenagers at 1AM

Wait’ you think the Obama FSA will get off tor not sign up for the gravy train of benefits so they can legally own a gun....?
I would bet a large percent already have an illegal gun....
Granted it might happen....not holding my breath...
Sadly, we now appear to have a Supreme Court that will support him.
If there were a constitutional branch of our “government” all this nonsense would be put to an end.
Alas, all three branches are broken. Ergo, he will continue to throw things against the wall to see what will stick.
If he loses one every now and then, no big deal, he will win most of them.
Molon Labe you black muslim bassturd
Unconstitutional gun grab based on an unconstitutional federal retirement program. What’s not to like? /s
Either that or he wants more low risk targets for his feral youth . . .
The idea is to take guns away from honest, law-abiding, non-violent citizens who have worked their whole (rude word for fornicating) lives so they wouldn’t become dependent and are now elderly and would like to have the option of protecting themselves with deadly force if absolutely necessary.
The reason is so that the ‘oppressed’ underclass can just waltz right in and take what is ‘rightfully’ theirs from the non-violent elderly.
Hey 0bama, (rude word for fornicate) you!
