“The implications of this policy are too far reaching to fathom at present."
The Obama administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own disability payments — a move the NRA is calling the “largest gun grab in American history.”
The push is intended to integrate data for the first time from the Social Security Administration into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), OutdoorHub reported. Beneficiaries who have been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary could then potentially lose their right to bear arms.
The move could affect as many as 4.2 million adults who fall under that category, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Slippery slope.
What arms? I don't have them any more. I can't remember who I sold them to. I am mentally incompetent. Remember? I don't!
Yes he is and everytime there is a shooting he is using it as more ammo, no pun intended.
11:45-I don't remember either.I just put all of my guns in the front yard and put a "free" sign on them.
Why not?
Its right there in the Constitution.
I made that part up.....
Come on you liberal pricks, start taking them. Lets get the war started.
Taking guns from old people? If you want to see what people will do when you take away their rights, when they have so little to lose (like lifers in prison) by fighting back in the most horrific ways, just try to take away their guns. Then see what they will do with them before they can be taken. Very bad move being considered by government. We'll have a whole new category of mass killers in this country. Crazy old people with guns, and a government "poking the bear." Old people see their guns as protection, as they become more defenseless as they age. Trying to take away that last sense of security for these people will be terribly counterproductive. Unless there is a pattern of threats to others by this demographic, then the government has no business going after this defensive group.
