I’ll bet almost every state that issues permits has provided just such a list. If I had a tinfoil hat I’d wonder if the whole purpose of permits was to assemble a confiscation list
The more distribution the better.
The premise here is what? How would someone get a CCW if they had a felony record? Hardly, not the reason. Whether they had some kind of mental disorder? What kind of such records does SSA have to show that, so obviously not a valid reason either. It is a way the feds had to garner this info for some nefarious purpose i.e. using it for some political purpose to support their gun control agenda? YES, someone was told to put together a program and use their law enforcement contacts to end run civil procedures. So, out trots an IG agent with SSA with a request for law enforcement info to his pal over at the Highway Patrol, after probably having been told to stick his request to the revenue department us his wazoo. Now if the IG SSA is using its authorities under medicare to peer down into medical records on individuals to match this data, I think there is a prima facia case for illegal tampering with medical records under privacy laws. I hope someone at the state level has the fortitude to stick this up their backsides. This is an egrious misuse of authority.
I agree. Part of the universal Marxist plan to get the good guys first and disarm them - and let the criminals go free.......
