Second Amendment Foundation Rips Obama Plan To Strip Millions Of Gun Rights

What may seem reasonable to people who reflexively support any and all gun control is really just one more effort by the Obama White House to erode Second Amendment rights any way they can,​

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation today responded to published reports that the Obama administration is pushing to prevent citizens collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if they have problems managing their own affairs as proof the president wants to strip as many people as possible of their Second Amendment rights while he remains in office.

“This could possibly disqualify millions of people from owning firearms and might prevent many others from seeking help,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, himself a U.S. Army veteran. “It’s unconscionable that someone who might have problems balancing a checkbook or managing their finances would suddenly find himself or herself stripped of their right to keep and bear arms.”

The plan, according to the Los Angeles Times, “could potentially affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others.” The report says this push “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.”

“So, let’s see,” Gottlieb observed. “The Obama administration wants to equate some Social Security recipients who own guns with felons, drug addicts and illegal immigrants. That’s not simply insulting, it’s insidious, because who knows where this could lead?

“What’s next,” he wondered. “Will they take away someone’s right to vote, claiming they’re not competent?”

Published reports estimated about 4.2 million adults are now receiving monthly Social Security benefits that are managed by someone else, designated as “representative payees.”

Taking away someone's Constitutional rights is repugnant in every way shape and form, whether for, racial, religious, or in this case because of age, or the fact that they are senior citizens. IMO, Obama will stop at nothing and find any reason, logical or illogical to take firearms from Americans. IMO, the same ole, same ole statement of, "We are passing the laws and taking the guns for public safety", is in order to suppress the people of America, the next step after that would be enslavement.

 

Of course this is being swept under the carpet by the Progressive Socialists. Anything that improves or take guns away from the people is good. They first have to disarm the Eloi just as the Nazi's and Stalinist's and Maoists did in the 20th Century to impose their slavery upon the masses.

 

Of course liberals will ignore this. They'll only talk about firearms when used in a crime. That's a given, so I'm not sure what you were expecting. Comparing them to Nazis is wrong, as well. They're well meaning but misguided. The gun issue is pretty much dead, IMO. Unless we discover a way to read minds, we'll never be able to stop gun violence. That being the case, I'll keep mine, as I can't read minds either, and I'll be damned if I give up my protection. I'm a pretty young 57 years old, but if I last another 20 years, there will come a point where I will rely on a weapon for safety. Elderly are the last people that should be disarmed.

 

Well according to the last attempt to take guns away from people, Democrats propose that veteran's and those receiving Social Security benefits may have to give up their Second Amendment rights. If Obama gets his way, we may all face gun confiscation, depending on whether you're a veteran, or soon to be a retiree eligible to receive SS, you may soon have to give up your Second Amendment rights.

The proposed law seems to apply only to people who, because of mental incapacity, have a representative payee. If they cannot manage their own affairs responsibly, then they should not own a gun. The protection of the pubic outweighs any limited Second Amendment right.
