Big need for that.

The legislation to which you refer would have prevented anyone receiving Social Security and who used an intermediary to help them with financial matters when dealing with the SS Administration from obtaining a firearm.

We always have to look into the details of bills that are passed. The name and what we are told they are are often misleading.
