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.”

How does McCain’s calling people “crazy” tie into this?
You cannot deny what is already owned, and already on record, before this year.
The background information check system has to be integrated, and as Obamacare for an example, it will be a while.
You only perform ‘background checks’ when purchasing a firearm. So, I am sure that you will begin to find a lot more ‘one-dollar-transfers-in-private’.
Louisiana has ONLY FEDERAL background checks for sales of firearms, from dealers, only. For any other transactions, the State requires no records kept or retained.
Going?
Has odungheap asked his security detail to give up their guns yet? How does this POS even find men willing to protect him? They hate America THAT much that they would protect America’s wrecking ball?
They are talking about people on disability who have a representative payee to handle their affairs, not all who are on disability. Still, it’s too broad a brush.
Another unposed question is this: what is the mechanism for determining whether or not the human of sub-normal intelligence on disability owns a firearm?
I am in favor of this for all the lawyers that have assisted in the fraudulent SS disability claims of recent years. You see their ads on daytime TV 24/7. And take the guns away from the public servants (retired LEO that bleed the taxpayers all that so called disability)
Exactly what Stalin did——the State decides who is sane or not. The whole APA was taken over by Marxists in the 70s to destroy Christianity and label Christians “insane”.
Christianity is the only worldview that embraces Individuality and Free Will-—and NOT collective “rights”. Destroy Individualism in children and they will be “group thinkers” and socialists (like the pope). Individuals will be killed and culled and “group think” will be mandatory.
The APA took homosexuality off of the mental disorder list (which it is). It is a learned worldview by childhood trauma and abuse and neglect and now they are forcing our children to “think” sodomizing others is now “Good”.....an irrational, evil, dehumanizing vice which always includes molestation and grooming of boys like with the harem boys of Afghanistan. They need to erase Christian Traditions in our children and instill paganism and satanism to collapse freedom/culture..
Without Virtue (Christian Ethics), there is no Freedom possible.
Given the current social trajectory it won’t be many years until there is an upper age limit for Social Security Benefits; the government will then house you and feed you but shortly your family will get a letter ....
Like EBT card holders!
Many on SS paid for their retirement benefits. They should be left alone to enjoy the freedom they bought and paid for by force.
No so for welfare recipients. THEY have a problem!!
So Obama says it.... Outside of law.
It’s 100% illegal!
Both.
check, check and check.
laws that prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the United States illegally,
Hey, if illegals can get driver’s licenses, and go
to our hospitals and colleges, why can’t they buy
guns......it’s not fair....
When is Obama going to stand up for the illegal
immigrant gun owner?? /s.
“If they can’t manage their affairs”, so if they need a trustee they need to remove their guns.
Can you show me any opposition to all of this? Anyone? Anyone running for president? Anyone in Congress? The sooner people realize that their is only 1 side in this battle the better!
“If they can’t manage their affairs”,
As if the Federal Government can manage their affairs so well.
Congress right there with him.
The solution is to fix the VA system,not to expand their failures...
