OBAMA SEEKS TO RESTRICT 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS FOR SENIORS |
Recently, the Social Security Administration (SSA) released a draft of proposed rulemaking that would supposedly bring the agency into compliance with what it claims is its responsibility to report prohibited persons to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Although GRNC previously issued an alert on this subject the opening of the comment period was delayed . We apologize for issuing the first alert before the comment period was officially open.
This plan would ultimately strip seniors of their 2nd Amendment rights. Any senior whose retirement funds, including Social Security Benefits, are managed by someone else on their behalf. For example, you're retired and traveling the world or just visiting your favorite National Park in your motor home and have asked your children to pay your bills in your absence. This could trigger the Social Security Administration (SSA) alerting authorities to revoke your permit to own and/or carry a gun.
Additionally, if you are impaired, however temporarily, a similar alert would be sent and your 2nd Amendment right could be nullified.
There are other factors that affect the determination to strip you or your 2nd Amendment rights, PRESUMABLY FOR LIFE. Read the NRA Article on this story for more details at http://bit.ly/1rqb9MG or another story on this at http://bit.ly/1NqpQJy.

Suggested Comment:
If government restricted itself to only those powers delegated to its branches in the Constitution, and kept from imposing itself in areas where the only clear directive is “shall not be infringed" then this proposed regulation would not have been created and the need for comments would not exist.
This is an ill conceived attempt at greater gun control that will not stand up to a challenge because there are so many things wrong with the rule change proposed such as there is no provision for restoration of rights where there is no longer a compelling mental health reason to deny them. There's no appeal mechanism. And, there is no guarantee that the same prejudices that the rule creates in the first place won't reassert themselves in the "parole" process.
We urge you not to approve this rule change.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! |
As you know, GRNC is an all volunteer force. As such, we are looking for volunteers in a couple of areas:
- WEB DEVELOPMENT
Experience in web development to include HTML, CSS & Java Scripting. If interested, contact GRNC President using the following contact form: http://www.grnc.org/contact
- ALERT WRITING
Solid writing skills, ability to translate legal, political, technical and firearms jargon into layman's terms and make the public care about the issue. Ability to manipulate HTML style emails on the code level is a nice to have. If interested, please contact GRNC using this e-mail address: alert@grnc.org
If you have these skills, you can help the Second Amendment fight by enhancing and expanding GRNC’s presence, ensuring our message is received broadly in these modern times.
Don’t let your talents go to waste, as you could be the difference between gun-rights advancements and gun-rights losses.
Be the person who says, “I did something!” Instead of the person who says, “I should have done something.”
