I read that the Social Security Administration is considering removal of guns from seniors too incompetent to handle their Social Security checks.

Excellent idea!

If someone is too far gone mentally to handle their money, they are a great risk to themselves or others if they have a handgun.

So, if seniors can't "handle their money" they should't own a firearm? That litmus test could be applied to much of society. Just another attempt by gun grabbing liberals to circumvent the 2nd amendment--it will fail.

Good point ... how about if your turn yours in first? But, then again, if you're a liberal, you probably think guns are 'BAD' and don't own one so not a problem.

Why not remove from illegals and criminals?

Because lazy Liberals always pick the low hanging fruit first.

News flash ... illegals and criminals, by DEFINITION, don't follow the law hence they will never voluntarily turn them in.

But, in the world of liberal insanity, this idea is always floated as a seemingly rational policy. WTF?

Nothing else going on right now so I will play in this silly game/thread/bait!

How did one blow by one of the reqirements of this new startling rule/law/whim?
As in how is it determined who is incapable of handling their money?
Who would it be that determines/makes that judgement/WAG (wild a$$ guess).
And assuming that ever got off the ground which it would not.
The next hurdle is how to determine who of the folks on that list have guns?
Or maybe it starts out with determining who of all seniors getting SS own guns?

And if anyone still willing to continue playing the already lost cause game, just how would the government go about getting these guns from those determined incapable of handling money?

If the lark ever got that far which it would not, it would come down to enforcement. So we know right there is another set of decisions, right.
Is this one of the laws to be enforced?

Another precedent that most of us do not like is the illegal aliens allowed in this country with no enforcement.

So if our name is on the can't handle money list, and you have a gun, whether they find out about it or not, no worry....right? To keep it and violate the law would be illegal, right? no problem.

The illegal aliens have set the precedent for us so don't worry...just squander your SS and go out and get another gun!

Maybe the stupidity of the premise of this thread comes across in the above.
If not, somebody will have something rude to say about it any minute now!!

Sounds good to me that those too mentally far gone to handle their money should have their handguns taken away. Hopefully, their family would do it out of good sense - just as taking away car keys when someone gets too old to drive. If the family won't do their duty, call in the police or some government agency. You do know that the Motor Vehicle Dept has the authority to do that, don't you? The car is a deadly weapon in the hands of an incompetent person just as is a gun.

Oh my GOD I did not realize how much danger we were in!!!!!!!!

I am hopeful that Pres. Clinton will do an Executive Order to remove handguns from all citizens over age 70. No need for old timers to have guns. They will just shoot themself or others by accident - or while in an age induced rage.

Your post is a perfect example of age-induced rage.

My grandparents live in The Villages and I have seen too many geezers swilling their cheap drinks and driving thier golf carts while drunk. They should be jailed for the safety of all villagers. Everytime I visit, there seems to be more.

When these old vets start drinking, they re live thier glory days in the military even though most, I expect, were drafted and went in kicking and screaming for thier two years.

I vote Democrat and we young people are the new "we, the people". Get used to it.

Hillary in 2016!

Hardly any seniors incapable of doing their finances own a gun. Probably most in nursing home. How ridiculous. I would worry more about them driving
