Have you ever thought of letting someone else manage your finances? If President Obama has his way, Social Security recipients who have trouble managing their finances will be banned from buying a gun.
If Social Security were to start classifying these people as mentally defective, some 4.2 million Social Security recipients could be affected about 10 percent of all people 65 and older.
But it is a real reach to say those who cant manage their finances are a physical danger to themselves or others. What is next? Saying that people who cant drive well or fail a math test should lose their right to self-defense?
What about other rights? If Obama finds people mentally defective, should they lose their right to vote? Will they lose the right to make other decisions?
Having a gun is by far the safest way for people to protect themselves from criminals. What is ignored is that older people, as well as women, who both tend to be weaker physically, benefit the most from owning a gun. When a young man attacks an elderly person, the strength difference is enormous. A gun is the only means an elderly person can realistically put up a defense. . . .

The punk POTUS leaves no stones unturned,
The bastard child will sneak in any way he can. Where there is a slightest crack, slime will find a way to get through. He wants gun control any way he can get it, starting with seniors. Unfortunately for him, he will have to pry my gun from my cold dead hands.
The good news is that a lot of us geezers already own plenty of guns. And if I wanted a new one I'm sure my children would make me a gift of it.
The national debt has more than doubled under Obama and his minions—Including the Republicans who were elected to Congress to stop this nonsense.
If people who can’t manage money are going to categorized as “mentally defective,” the first place to start locking people up is DC.
“If people who cant manage money are going to categorized as mentally defective, the first place to start locking people up is DC.”
Very true. It would be a good sound bite for Trump. I’m sure none of the other 15 GOP candidates have the courage to say it out loud.
It’s but a short step to the discount or benefit they’ll offer you, if you assign a friend or relative to “co-manage” your finances.
Next would be to make it default.
Then mandatory.
What happens to the guns when the elderly SS recipient is determined to be mentally defective? I assume they aren’t willed to children, grandchildren, or spouses. It is not uncommon to have firearm collections worth many 10s of thousands of dollars. That’s a sizable investment. Does the government just come in and confiscate that lawful investment in real property?
FedGov can’t manage its finances. Take away their guns.
One day the American people will realize what a colossal mistake they made in electing this man.
I have guns
My wife has guns
We have lots of guns
We have them to protect ourselves in case some a$$hole LIKE Obama breaks into our home we can blow his frickin’ head off.
We sleep better
That day will probably be after those voters are dead.
In a totalitarian regime, “mental illness” and “mental defect” mean what the state SAYS they mean.
Excellent!
IF there is still an “American People” to realize it.
“That day will probably be after those voters are dead.”
Probably right about that. The hell of it is we all will be included when future generations raise the question “What were they thinking?” All Romans get blamed for the collapse of Rome.
Well, that first stipulation should get guns confiscated from about 50 million people right there! :-D
#SlipperySlope
PING!
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. (Thomas Jefferson Quoting Cesare Beccaria)
But in the meantime, lots of them will be pushing to elect Hillary to continue cleaning up the colossal mess that W made (in their warped minds).
