Obama Gun Grab on Social Security Recipients Part of Long-Term Citizen Disarmament End Game
(excerpts from David Codrea's newest article at Oath Keepers)
"Seeking
tighter controls over firearm purchases, the Obama administration is
pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they
lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, a move that could
affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by
others,"
The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
"There is no simple way to identify that group, but a strategy used by
the Department of Veterans Affairs since the creation of the
background check system is reporting anyone who has been declared
incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a
fiduciary.
"About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by 'representative payees,'" The Times notes.
"For
nearly twenty years, GOA has been telling you about the anti-gun
atrocities being performed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
and the Justice Department against law-abiding veterans," the group
explains. "When a veteran, as a result of a traumatic experience abroad,
seeks disability benefits and/or counseling, VA moves to appoint a
guardian to manage his financial affairs. Under illegitimate Clinton
interpretations by ATF, this 'inability to handle his financial affairs'
would make the veteran 'mentally defective' under 18 U.S.C. 922 (g)
(4), and hence legally barred from owning a gun or ammunition."
The above is just a teaser from David Codrea's article at Oath Keepers.
