I hope old people shoot social security administrators when they come for the guns.

Look what's hidden in this!!

If the govt chooses to interpret third party financial handling of SS checks as auto deposit financial institutions, then everyone who gets a SS check will have to surrender their guns.

Catch-22: You must accept auto deposit there are no other options.

Before you say this is outlandish remember the tactics of the anti-smoking lobby. Over the years the goalposts crept from "Our own section in a restaurant" to "It's a crime to smoke in your own home".

It would be interesting to know just how many of those who have “their SSA benefits managed” actually own guns. How many of them are having someone manage their money as a convenience as opposed to those who are actually mentally incompetent. What is bothersome is that there is absolutely no determination as to mental competence.

A smoking area in a restaurant is no different than having a “peeing section” in a swimming pool. I rest my case.

Another 4 million “Gun-Free Zones”!!!!

And Obama is going to release countless felons, because #BlackLivesMatter, or some-such insanity.

Talk about a perfect storm.

An examination of notable shooting in the last few years, including Chattanooga by an Islamic terrorist, Ft. Hood by an Islamic terrorist, DC Naval Yard by a probable Islamic terrorist, the Aurora, CO movie shooter (now an Islamist) and the Newtown school shooting, absolutely none were done by Social Security recipients with third party payees. Obama is an idiot.

It's old folks who need firearms the most, young punks know they are easy prey otherwise. Amazing how much infringing you can get away with when you have a court that will ignore “shall not infringe” or anything else actually written into the law.

This is a confusing "new policy," deliberately so.
If you are one of the disinterested, since it affects a narrowly defined group of Social Security recipients, be doubly careful...

Just google "When they first came for the Jews, I did nothing because I was not a Jew..."

And discover where that eventually led.

I just cannot see how they plan on carrying a gun grab like this out.

First, they have no idea who even has guns or how many or where they are kept etc, unless it’s some lefty haven where such records are kept on the citizens.

Will the SSA be able to get search warrants??

This may be in the works, but it will not happen during the current presidency. If Satan gets Hitlery elected, then maybe the guns are gone, but so is the country.

This is how it starts.

Having been a rep payee for hundreds of clients I can tell you that probably 60 percent of them were perfectly capable and could own and handle a gun. Most of them could not handle their affairs because they had thieving lying relatives and/or caregivers.

I will. Should I survive the initial encounter, I'll hunt down the ones who sent them.

You can rest anything you want, but not your brain, because you don't have one.
Hence the petty irrelevant delusional pronouncement.

People need to understand a representative payee is not like a conservator. When you have a conservator you probably couldn’t and shouldn’t handle a gun. Not the same thing at all.

They are just trying to get there a communist foot in the door.

That is why they go the “psychiatry” route-—it is pseudo-science and subjective.

It is like with D’Souza——the State will just assign a “doctor” to state that you are mentally ill and it will take thousands of dollars to “prove” you are not and most people will not have the time and money to fight this fascism like D’Souza has-—who is STILL getting burned. .

It is Stalin’s government tactics-—true Marxism-—State dictates if you are sane or not or competent.

We can never allow pseudo-science decisions to be in the hand of the State, which this is.

That was my first thought. Direct deposit means it goes “first” to your bank in that it manages your account

Well, I can still pee in the pool I own if I want to - you may not like it, and may not want to frequent my pool, but I can still do it.

But the nanny state has said that I can't allow smoking in a business I own, irregardless of my say in the matter.

So yes, yes there is a difference. And, if you're advocating government interference of individual property rights, you're on the wrong site.
