Champ: Gun-Ban For “subnormal intelligence, mental illness, or incompetency”
[Breitbart] 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.
About time! Everyone knows elderly Social Security recipients are the cause of much of the gun related crime in this country.

#1  Handy for him having Secret Service with Guns so he doesn't need them.

#2  And we know that all conservatives are subnormal.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 01/05/2016 9:12 Comments || Top||

#3  Does subnornal intelligence include those who aren't nearly as intelligent as they think themselves? As for using Social Security information to determine those mentally incompetent to manage their own affairs, ie. senile (and perhaps also mentally retarded or otherwise mentally handicapped), I recall how well Obamacare is at sharing information between government computers at the click of a mouse.

#4  Interesting direction they are headed. It may be found to be unconstitutional as it discriminates against 'Autism sufferers' which is a growing SSI disability entitlement in some precincts.

#7  "No guns for Democrats"

#8  I see the SSA (Social Security) reporting all on their list receiving disability payments will be forwarded to the ATF for cross check against previous background checks OK'd for gun purchases.
The ATF (famous for the Fast and Furious program) will notify those now ineligible persons to turn in their weapons or else. Hilarity ensues.

No guns for you, Champ!

#10  Reminds me of the '50s Soviets - anyone protesting gov't was declared crazy and sent to an "asylum". Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

#11  Just listened to Obama's speach. Most of what he proses is already law. More noise to distract from his middle east failures.

#12  I propose that all of us here perform a public service. Report all the kooks on the various progressive blogs so as to ensure that none of them will get guns. They won't have guns anyway (they're kooky leftists, after all) but this will get them into the government files, and that sort of thing has a life of its own.

I didn't make the rules, Mr. Alinsky did, but I can play by them...

#13  Just listened to Obama's speach.

Also heard he refereed to himself 76 times.

What a narcissistic prick.

#14  DV, I admire your patience. I always either change the channel, turn off the TV or leave the room whenever Baraq is on the screen.

#15  Comment pilfered from Instapundit..with appreciation to commenter 'tailwind'

Cognitive dissonance, Democrat Style:

1996 - President Clinton significanly reduces the number off Federal Fiream Licensees to prevent non-storefront FFL's from having guns shipped directly to their home to add to their personal collection.

2016 - President Obama proposes to significantly increase the number of FFL's to ensure that background checks take place. These FFL's will then be able to have guns shipped directly to their home to add to their personal collection.

#1  Shame on every single one of you involved with these nasty people.

Shame on you.

#2  Well, better to be behind him scowling than directly in front of him when he's grinning.

#3  Ask him if he concurs with Hillary's statement that every woman who accuses a man of sexual assault has a right to be believed. Then ask him what about Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Willey, etc.

Hillary Clinton on Area-51 and alien visits
[Daily Mail] Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said that if she is elected, she will 'get to the bottom' of questions over what the government knows about UFOs and aliens. She made the promise when speaking with Daymond Steer of The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire. She had previously interviewed with the same reporter in 2007.
When asked if she would support UFO disclosure group efforts, she enthusiastically said 'yes'.

In 2007, Clinton said the most common freedom-of-information requests her husband Bill Clinton received at his library were about UFOs.

'Yes, I'm going to get to the bottom of it,' Hillary Clinton told The Sun reporter last week.

In 2014, Bill Clinton told late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel that he wouldn't be surprised if aliens visited Earth, and last week.

'No, I am trying to tell you I don't know, but if we were visited some day I wouldn't be surprised, I just hope it's not like Independence Day,' he said, referring to the 1996 film in which aliens attack the Earth.

#1  Personally I'm more inclined to beieve that any Sapce Aliens captured alive at Roswell + elsewhere are TIME-TRAVELING FUTURE HUMANS, + NOT LIFE FORMS UNKNOWN TO PLANET EARTH, PAST OR FUTURE.

As per fish struggling to breathe/live when out of water, the Roswell Aliens were allegedly captured widout any special equipment to help them breathe or move around in Earth's atmosphere or gravity, INFERRNG THEY ARE EITHER FROM EARTH, OR AN ALIEN PLANET SIMILAR TO EARTH. I BELIEVE THE FORMER, A SUPPOSITION WHICH DOES NOT DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY OF TIME-TRAVELING FUTURE HUMANS FROM EARTH ALSO HAVING THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL TO, FROM ALIEN WORLDS IN DEEP SPACE SIMILAR TO EARTH.

TIEN-TRAVELING FUTURE AMERICANS???

Also good for explaining why-n-how the US Govt. allegedly knows when certain world events will happen in the US-World.

D *** NGED SPRING BREAKER KIDS + GREEN ORION GIRLFRIENDS FROM BETELGEUSE SPACE UNIVERSITY IN THE 30TH CENTURY WERE DRUNKENLY RACING IN THEIR STARSHIPS WHEN THEY CRASHED AT ROSWELL IN 1947 BACK ON "OLD EARTH/ANCIENT USA"!

I KNEW IT!

#2  If anyone would know anything about the likelihood of alien life visiting us here on Earth, it would be Hillary.

#3  Didn't Jimmy Carter say this same thing when he was running for president? Then wouldn't release details for national security reasons.

#4  "shhh" UFO's are great cover for covert aircraft development programs....

#6  When Bill was first elected, I saw a newspaper with a picture of an alien spaceship taking him on a tour of DC. The headline didn't mention if Hillary was aboard.

#7  Last time I heard there were about 10 million unregistered aliens running around. However, given the small circle that the Beast runs among, it's doubtful she ever cognitively run in to any of them.

#8  she's probably seen a few females, trapped under Slick

#9  Damn junkyard saucers with 18 foot mattresses strapped to the sides, filled with who the hell knows how many larve, that bizzare smell most of the saucers have, and damn don't ya hate it when they hug you? I mean green is good and cool, but damn 8 tentacles can be a bit much sometimes. Also we must speak frankly (is he in the audience?) do the 8 arms give illegal aliens a boost in the fast food and agricultural industries? I've seen one washing dishes with 4, laying out burgers with 3 and talking on his Callie with one. I dunno, I just dunno.
