    Obama goes after Social Security recipients’ guns

    Considering the date of the original story some of you may have seen this before.

    Obama said that his top priority for his remaining time in office is gun control.

    He’s already done it to our military veterans — getting the dysfunctional Veterans Administration to take guns away from veterans deemed “mentally unfit”. (See “Obama regime prohibits disabled veterans from owning firearms and ammunition”)

    Now, Obama is extending the same BOHICA “courtesy” to Social Security recipients.

    So has this started? I don't see any link to anything that has actually happened just that Obama "plans" to take away SS recipients guns.

    This was supposed to be part of his last round of Executive Orders, but since he really hasn't written many of them or released them yet it is hard to tell.

    An executive order requires more paperwork and it is given a number. An executive "action" which seems to be King Barack's equivalent of a sniper rifle, does not require any oversight and doesn't leave an easy to follow paper trail.

    As for his hating of people on Social Security, so far nothing has come of this. Yet. He still has time to mess up the lives of honest hard working American citizens.

    What I remember hearing was that it was both seniors and vets that, for whatever reason(s), were unable to handle their financial affairs would have their 2A rights pulled.
    Just like they are talking about people with chemical dependencies, PTSD, or other neurological problems, would suffer the same fats whether or not they had ever been a threat to anybody or anything.

    Reminds me of the Scene in 1984s Red Dawn where the Cuban COL. played by Ron O'Neil (Superfly) tells his men to go to the Court House and Get a Certain Form from the County Records regarding who had Firearms. Paul

    He says go the local gunshops and collect the form 4473.

    Although the depiction of the legal paper trail is mostly accurate, the concept of an invasion by Cuban forces is not.

    True, Cuba will never be able to Attack anyone! but they make good Jungle Fighters. Plus they have an Advantage over us in Florida, guessing that A/C is Rare in Cuba, they can put up with Humid Summers without it. That give them an Advantage, if you have never known A/C you adapt with out it.

    The guy who made the movie went to the pentagon and asked them what the most likely scenario for a invasion of North America by the combloc would look like. The movie, to include Cubans, is based on that scenario the pentagon gave him, keep in mind most of the major actions are never portrayed in that movie - such as the nuclear exchange - but are hinted at in the dialogue. It may still be to this day the most likely, however they now have a man in the whitehouse who would help them.

    Some of them weren't even that, they were just things that President Obama said he is going to do. Like with most things the most transparent administration in history does it is hard to see what he did.
