Lawyer: Threat widens in federal gun grab (Who will be next?)

Vets targeted, then Social Security recipients, then those with student loans and ...

It began with letters from the Veterans Administration informing returning veterans they were being declared incompetent and someone would be appointed to handle their financial affairs.

The veterans then were told they, consequently, could no longer own weapons.

Now the same plan is being considered for recipients of Social Security, the Los Angeles Times said.

The paper said the Obama administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they “lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs.”

The report describes to the letter the VA plan reported by WND.

Michael Connelly of the United States Justice Foundation has been working on the VA case since several veterans contacted him to say they had been determined incompetent without so much as a hearing and wanted to fight back. According to the Social Security plan, the federal benefit recipients would be told they are incompetent and can no longer have weapons. Then their names would be added to the National Instant Criminal Background Check system, which is used by governments to try to keep weapons out of the hands of felons, drug addicts, illegal aliens and others.

Targeted would be Social Security beneficiaries who have “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease.”

An estimated 4.2 million adults get Social Security payments that are managed by “representative payees.”

The Times said the move is part of a concerted effort by the Obama administration after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, to strengthen gun control.

After Congress shot down virtually every legislative change Obama wanted, the president began to makes changes through rewriting rules and definitions.

It is a well known anecdotal fact that progressive/liberalism is a serious mental disorder.
So based on Obastards criteria no Democrat or other type of liberal should be allowed to poses a firearm.

It is a well known anecdotal fact that progressive/liberalism is a serious mental disorder.

Such statements are at their core no different from those made by leftists who claim conservatism is a mental disorder. Further, they fail to make a distinction between three kinds of people:

1. Those who out of apathy simply don't see the effects of leftist policies.
2. Those who, in order to avoid contradiction with their views, have blinded themselves to the consequences of leftist policies even when those consequences are staring them in the face.
3. Those who are well aware that the actual effects of leftist policies have no relation to their stated aims, but whose actual aims correlate to the effects of those policies.

While those in the second group could be regarded as suffering from a delusion disorder, and one could argue that the members of the third group are often sociopaths, I don't think leftism may fairly be described as a mental disorder, especially given that the second and third groups are so different.
