    this president is a asshat, obama needs to move his stupid ass back to kenya.

    Godfather.

    Why in the fuck do you say he should move his ass back to a place he's never even lived?
    What is this obsession some people have with him and Kenya? Makes no sense at all. Seems racist. Seems anti-everything. If Obama should move his ass back to Kenya, then it's just as reasonable to say that you should move your ass back to wherever your ancestors are from, since I'm pretty sure you're not Native American.

    The Obama administration wants to keep people collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if it is determined they are unable to manage their own affairs, the Los Angeles Times reported.

    The push, which could potentially affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others, is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws that prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the United States illegally, and others, according to the paper.

    The language of federal gun laws restricts ownership to people who are unable to manage their own affairs due to "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease” – which could potentially affect a large group within Social Security, the LA Times reported.

    If Social Security, which has never taken part in the background check system, uses the same standard as the Department of Veterans Affairs – which is the idea floated – then millions of beneficiaries could be affected, with about 4.2 million adults receiving monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.”

    The latest move is part of the efforts by President Obama to strengthen gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012.

    Critics are blasting the plan, saying that expanding the list of people who cannot own guns based on financial competence is wrongheaded.

    The ban, they argue, would keep guns out of the hands of some dangerous people, but would also include people who simply have a bad memory or have a hard time balancing a checkbook.

    The background check for gun ownership started in 1993 by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, named after White House Press Secretary James Brady, who was partially paralyzed after being shot in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan.

    Gun stores are required to run the names of potential buyers through a computerized system before every sale.

    Click for the full story from the Los Angeles Times.

    Your 1st statement is blatantly racist- not to mention slightly comical presented with grammar structures that rival that of a slightly less than average 4 year old.

    Sorry, man. Up until this point in time, I've hung in there with you; however your homophobic and racial attitudes reflect such a need for reform that I don't think I can take you seriously any more.

    Is this a joke? Really uncool.

    This law, if I understand it correctly, models its background checks on the Department of Veteran Affairs' background checks. In this, it stipulates that anyone who is incapable of handling their own financial affairs would be ineligible for the service requested. The way of checking this is by determining whether a person is able, him or herself, to collect Social Security on a regular basis (without a representative sent on his or her behalf).

    Social Security is for those who are retired, disabled in a way, shape or form, or unemployed. The question at hand is really simple. Are there legitimate reasons why one might not want to or be able to collect his or her own Social Security regularly and/or assign someone else to do it for him or herself, but should still be deemed eligible to carry a weapon?

    If there are none, then this is an effective background check.

    If there are some, then this is an ineffective background check, as it prohibits some who should not be prohibited from carrying a weapon.

    Really not much more to it than that.

    I can't pretend to know each individuals circumstances, but if someone doesn't have the physical ability to cash their own check should they be able to wield a firearm?

    GF, is there a proper link to this story or not.....I'd like to read the entire article.

    As you may already know I did not vote for Obama in the first election. Now if as you say he's STUPID then what do you think of President George W. Bush and the condition he left this country in when he left office? I'm pretty sure in the 16+ months President Obama has left in office this country will not be anywhere in the condition GWB left it. Which to the current being elected into office by the people and for the citizenry.....not the SCOTUS.

    I know now you obviously don't like BHO, he seems to get under your skin. However, just a suggestion when you make a post/thread pointing out his inefficiencies/disagreements one can do so without showing your obvious biases. Your threads can move along in a much more positive/progressive (forgive me for using the word progressive) fashion.

    I also know you have your own style and substance to which you have stuck to through the years (ain't none of AMT participants are going to change that) but basically stick to the damn subject matter right, wrong or indifferent.

    "pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs,"

    If you don't have the mental capacity to manage your own affairs why should you be able to possess a firearm?

    Obviously if you have applied for benefits under the guise of mental capacity and then you show up to fill out a gun permit a flag should go up.
