Obama's Gun-Control Plan Includes Gun-Ban
For Some Social Security Beneficiaries

By AWR Hawkins, January 4th, 2016

The White House released a fact-sheet Jan. 4 which previews the executive gun control Obama will unveil Tuesday and one aspect of the new controls is the inclusion of "information from the Social Security Administration in the background check system about beneficiaries who are prohibited from possessing a firearm."

On July 18 Breitbart News reported on Obama's push to ban gun-possession for Social Security beneficiaries who are believed incapable of handling their own finances.

At that same time, the Los Angeles Times reported that a ban was being put together "outside of public view," so all the details were not known. But the Times did know that the ban would cover those who are unable to manage their own affairs for a multitude of reasons--from "subnormal intelligence or mental illness" to "incompetency," an unspecified "condition," or "disease."

The ban pertaining to Social Security beneficiaries is now tucked into the "mental health" aspects of Obama's executive gun control. .......

It has to be wondered with this proposed "provision" just how much room for abuse there is. Of course, some elderly folks can be potentially unsafe with a firearm but then we have the risk of a sane but elderly person being labeled fiscally or generally incapable by a spiteful family.
An older person is often going to be physically impaired to some degree, meaning much less chance to protect themselves or flee in the presence of a serious threat - thus needing and deserving of their right of self-defense more than ever.
