House Votes To Overturn Obama Rule Restricting Gun Sales To the Severely Mentally Ill

[g5000]

More like, now senior citizens can defend themselves from nutjobs despite minor infirmities.

Infirmities so minor they cannot take care of themselves. These are people who drool on themselves and wander off naked and make the local news.

"Please help us find this old man who doesn't even know his own name. Approach with caution. He's armed."

This is seriously fucked up.


House Votes To Overturn Obama Rule Restricting Gun Sales To the Severely Mentally Ill

According to NPR's Susan Davis, the measure being blocked from implementation would have required the Social Security Administration to send records of some beneficiaries with severe mental disabilities to the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System. About 75,000 people found mentally incapable of managing their financial affairs would have been affected.


The National Rifle Association had pushed for the repeal, and Republicans argued it infringed upon Second Amendment rights by denying due process.


Supporters of the rule argued it was designed to stop mentally ill persons from getting firearms.


"The House charged ahead with an extreme, hastily written, one-sided measure that would make the American people less safe," Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-Conn., said, according to The Hill. Esty represents Newtown, Conn., where a mentally ill man shot and killed 20 six- and seven-year-olds and six adults.

Oh, that will work so well.

Let's put more guns in the hands of severely mentally ill, and then more guns into the hands of the general populace so they can kill them and solve the problem.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ nothing to do with putting more guns in the hands of the adjudacated mentally ill . Its about Taking guns from those that are being Called mentally ill with no proof Coyote .

No proof!! WTF... Do ya think that the SSA would approve benefits for disability due to mental illness without proof?? Are you serious or is that that you have some problems of your own?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- good enough , the RULE is gone i guess . Unlikely to reappear under President Trumps next 8 years in office . So , to sum it up let me say GOOD , the rule seems to be gone !!

Drooling seniors who don't know their own name make excellent straw purchasers.

Yes, they are judicially deemed to be mentally incompetent. Were you unaware of this?

When some asshole shoots up a school, what is the stock response given by idjits?

"We must keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill."

Oh yeah? Do you really mean that, or what?

US gun laws: House votes to loosen background checks rules - BBC News

The US House of Representatives has voted to scrap regulations that require background checks for people purchasing guns with mental health issues.
...
The background-check rules were introduced to provide information on the gun-buying history of people receiving benefits for mental disability.

Way to go... So now you have to buy more guns to defend yourself against the nutjobs you sold guns to before...

Once again progressives are forced to exaggerate/lie to make their "points"

This prevents a person from losing their 2nd amendment rights solely by being placed on an SSA list of people who no longer control their own finances.

If the person is that much of a risk, after the family gets the SSA right to their finances, they can go to a judge, get them person mentally adjudicated as incompetent, and then their 2nd amendment rights can be restricted via due process.

even the ACLU didn't like this rule.

So a judge adjudicates the person is not competent enough to control their own money but you say it is OK for him to have an AR-15....

as adjudicated by someone sitting behind a desk at the SSA office.

"Hey, this old fart can't do his own taxes, take away his 2nd A rights"

Should criminals have guns?
Should children have guns?

No.
No.
Nor liberals. They think guns cause violence.

Welcome to America where you can be found mentally incompetent of handling YOUR MONEY but you can still get a gun.

Ah, so now we are defining campaign contributions as buying politicians. What does that say about Hillary?

Just remember that next time you try to rob a senior citizen.

Then you go to court and have that one person declared incapable and restrict his/her rights. You don't get a blanket claim making everyone lose their rights in a group without due process.

 

[Coyote]

More evidence the NRA is a terrorist organization, and the fools who posted #2 & #3 above who enable the NRA to put profit over the people.

statists look for any reason to take away ones liberties.

Should criminals have guns?
Should children have guns?

More laws equal more crime… Fact

Vote for lawlessness! Zero crime rate!

 

[g5000]

I've just changed my mind. I think all those seniors who had their retirement nest eggs stolen from them by Donald Trump should be allowed to carry as many guns as they can.

 

[pismoe]

police , military , elites , hilary , politicians , criminals all carry guns so no reason that Americans that pay the taxes to keep everything running shouldn't carry guns .
