| Obama Administration Yanks Second Amendment Rights from SSI Recipients |
| 2016-12-29 |
| Last week, the Obama administration put the finishing touches on a new policy that would deprive recipients of disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) of their Second Amendment rights. The administration will now characterize those citizens as "mental defectives," thereby having their ability to own a firearm subject to the federal Gun Control Act. Obviously if you want a firearm you are mentally defective. Supplemental Security Income helps blind, disabled, and elderly people with little to no income. Previously, it was understood that "mentally defective" referred to one's mental health. Citizens who have been institutionalized against their will are restricted from owning a firearm. The new definition of "mentally defective" has nothing to do with being mentally ill. Opposition to The Once is a mental disorder. The Social Security Administration released its final decision after a period of open comments that drew more than 91,000 responses, including a response from the NRA. Although Obama likes to empty out Guantanamo Bay of dangerous terrorists and commute the sentences of criminals guilty of breaking federal firearms laws, he doesn't like law-abiding American citizens to possess firearms. |

| #7 All democrats are mentally unstable and shouldn't be allowed guns, a driver's license, security clearences, a vote, or anything other than a long stay in an ECT intensive ward until reality has been seared....SEARED into their brains. |

| #5 So guess who the thugs go after, slow and crippled Sr. Citizens. They tend to live in low income housing these days. So there are plenty of people who will take an old person down to get $20 for a dose. I lost my guns in a boating accident. |

| #4 swksvolFF---Sometimes, the only solution is the kinetic solution: 1/2xMx(V squared) If you do not have a lot of V (velocity), you got to make it up by having lots of M (Mass). The 71 year old lady instinctively knew this and grabbed the frying pan and gave it enough V squared to put the hurt on the perp. |

| #2 Classic. Guess I can unstarch my onsie knowing that when grandma breaks into my house, it will be against the rules for her to have a gun. Should make everything even. Because bad things don't always end up good. |
