Barack Obama is once again circumventing the legislative process in order to push his administration’s unpopular leftist agenda. First, it was illegal immigration, then transgender bathrooms. This time, it’s guns.
Earlier this year, the White House announced new policies for those receiving social security benefits in conjunction with the president’s January 5th executive order on gun ownership. When it was released, few seemed to notice that the order allowed the administration to withhold Second Amendment rights from those who collect social security.
The move makes little logical sense. Social Security beneficiaries have never proven themselves as particularly violent or incapable of gun ownership. Instead, it seems as if this is part of Obama’s larger plan to slowly and surreptitiously restrict gun ownership whenever and wherever possible.
The administration was likely hoping that this slow creep of new regulations would go unnoticed until it was too late to be repealed. Fortunately, the watchful eyes of conservative media caught them in the act.

Just one more EO for Trump to delete!
Well, you forgot about the part that says ‘well-regulated militia’. And the courts have consistently held that mental defect puts one in a special category- for example, the insane cannot be put to death for murder…nor the mentally retarded. So they are not categorized as regular American citizens to which the law applies. Likewise the underage- many laws apply to them that disappear when they reach 18, or 21. So to say broadly that there should be no restrictions on this amendment disregards whole areas of our common law. Are you really trying to argue that a mentally incompetent person, who has to have a legal guardian appointed because they cannot manage their life affairs- STILL should have the right to purchase a deadly weapon??! I should hope not!
Put your pen down and slowly step away from your desk. DO IT NOW!
