Senate Passes Bill To End Obama SSI Gun Ban | |||

AMGOA Staff The U.S. Senate approved legislation Wednesday that will roll back an Obama administration rule requiring the Social Security Administration to submit information about mentally impaired recipients so they can be added to a list of people barred from purchasing a gun. The 57-43 vote to overturn Obama's rule is the first clash over gun control in the new Congress. Issued in December in response to Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the rule was expected to add about 75,000 names to a database of people banned from purchasing weapons. It applies to recipients of disability insurance and supplemental security income who require someone else to manage their benefits because of a disabling mental disorder, ranging from anxiety to dementia or schizophrenia. http://ctmirror.org/2017/02/14/senate-readies-to-abolish-obama-gun-rule-prompted-by-sandy-hook/ |
