I think the number of VA persons added to the list is over 200k. Wonder how many SS recipients will get promoted to the list. Good thing we have representatives in d.c. to fight for our.................. Oh, never mind.

Guns? What guns?

[Ken H]

What is there to manage? Just set it up for direct deposit.

[ManHunter]

By any means... And there are still people who insist that Obama has no intention of confiscating guns or denying 2nd Amendment rights to anyone.

[SMARTY]

This stupid MO FO is completely OUT OF CONTROL

[circlecity]

Looks like they need to buy their guns used from a private seller.

It would be nice if there existed an opposition party to counter act this loose cannon.

“Shall not be infringed” also applies to social security INSURANCE, for which we pay premiums our entire working lives.

Social Security is NOT an “entitlement”. We paid the premiums, faithfully, and now we collect the annuity from those payments.

Using the back donor threat to ban guns through the withholding of those funds is unconstitutional on two levels. Using the “mental instability” argument is a slippery slope, as the government will be the ones to declare such “instability”, based on factors such as party affiliation, ideology, and blog postings.

It’s a rigged game, designed to accomplish Hitler’s goal of “disarming the people” to create a dictatorship. Call your Rep, and raise hell about this...it’s time for this $6/+ to stop.

I will sue Social Security Secretary.
Could be worth billions!

[SkyDancer]

What guns? Gramps has no guns. Lost them in a boating accident years ago. Dad too. Uncle too. It was a sad occasion.

The Social Security Administration would also notify those people — thought to total about 75,000 — that they are banned from buying or possessing a firearm under federal law.

I cannot wait to go to a Washington lawyer if they notify me. I will sue the President, the Secretary of Social Security, the FBI and any other federal agent or agency that damages me or my reputation this way.

[New Jersey Realist]

I have searched the Constitution and can find nothing that qualifies gun ownership and the need for a license. The 2nd Amendment IS my license to own a gun!

[eyeamok]

. Late last year it became clear if an individuals needs financial help managing Social Security benefits, the agency can deem that person mentally unfit to purchase a firearm.

Hmmm, Every Member of Congress and the entire Government should then be BANNED FROM GUNS, They have NEVER BEEN ABLE to Manage the Governments Finances.

This id why they have made both systems so complicated that you need help to figure out how to navigate it. (Poor, minorities, children and women affected most)

[Starstruck]

How about people who use a Tax Service to do their income Taxes? Or a Financial Advisor to do investments?
