READING does wonders for lack of knowledge...
"WASHINGTON —The House of Representatives approved its first effort of the new Congress to roll back gun regulations, voting to overturn a rule that would bar gun ownership by some who have been deemed mentally impaired by the Social Security Administration.
The House voted 235-180 largely along party lines Thursday to repeal an Obama-era rule requiring the Social Security Administration to send records of some beneficiaries to the federal firearms background check system after they’ve been deemed mentally incapable of managing their financial affairs.
The rule, when implemented, would affect about 75,000 recipients of disability insurance and supplemental insurance income who require a representative to manage their benefits because of a disabling mental disorder, ranging from anxiety to schizophrenia. It applies to those between age 18 and full retirement age.

It is the responsibility of individual states to report adjudicated cases of individuals with mental health issues to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The data is NOT reported to the SSA. There is a second issue as well. For whatever reasons, many states do not participate in reporting.

I copied this from a source you would be more likely to accept.
To me, this is a major reason why I question the appropriateness of the SSA collecting data. Why would they be any more successful than the NCIS system. It would also duplicate something the Feds already do. Why do something twice?
