Sadly, no. We have a bunch in office that regard 1984 and Animal Farm as primers, not warnings. Our Dear Leaders regard themselves as More Equal than us, and will use any means necessary to neuter us in order to back that More Equal claim up. Thus, they can do whatever they want without regard to consequences, but we need to be constantly looking over our shoulders and checking our Handbooks of Permissible Behavior.Dreamer42 wrote:Uncle Sam is $18 trillion in debt.

One key issue that I have not seen people mentioning is this push for both VA and SS disqualification sidesteps the entire issue of judicial adjudication.bmwrdr wrote:"The push is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally and others."

Some nimrod, anti-gun, faceless federal bureaucrat pushing pencil onto paper does not constitute "adjudication".18 U.S.C. § 922(g) It shall be unlawful for any person—
...
(4) who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution;
...to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
Wouldn't that be something if everyone in Congress had their guns taken away and they weren't allowed to purchase any for the same reason? They cannot manage their finances either.Dreamer42 wrote:Uncle Sam is $18 trillion in debt. Facing huge unemployment numbers. Government computer data seems to be hacked every day.
