Obama pushes to extend gun background checks to Social Security
Seeking tighter controls over firearm purchases, the Obama administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, a move that could affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others.
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.
A potentially large group within Social Security are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to manage their own affairs due to "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease."
There is no simple way to identify that group, but a strategy used by the Department of Veterans Affairs since the creation of the background check system is reporting anyone who has been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary.
If Social Security, which has never participated in the background check system, uses the same standard as the VA, millions of its beneficiaries would be affected. About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by "representative payees."
The move is part of a concerted effort by the Obama administration after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., to strengthen gun control, including by plugging holes in the background check system.
But critics — including gun rights activists, mental health experts and advocates for the disabled — say that expanding the list of prohibited gun owners based on financial competence is wrongheaded.
Though such a ban would keep at least some people who pose a danger to themselves or others from owning guns, the strategy undoubtedly would also include numerous people who may just have a bad memory or difficulty balancing a checkbook, the critics argue.
"Someone can be incapable of managing their funds but not be dangerous, violent or unsafe," said Dr. Marc Rosen, a Yale psychiatrist who has studied how veterans with mental health problems manage their money. "They are very different determinations."
Steven Overman, a 30-year-old former Marine who lives in Virginia, said his case demonstrates the flaws of judging gun safety through financial competence.
After his Humvee hit a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2007, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and a brain injury that weakened his memory and cognitive ability.
The VA eventually deemed him 100% disabled and after reviewing his case in 2012 declared him incompetent, making his wife his fiduciary. State police lead students from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., after a shooting. The Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at the school left 26 people, including 20 children, dead. (Shannon Hicks / Newtown Bee)
Upon being notified that he was being reported to the background check system, he gave his guns to his mother and began working with a lawyer to get them back.
Overman grew up hunting in Wisconsin. After his return from Iraq, he found solace in target shooting. "It's relaxing to me," he said. "It's a break from day-to-day life. It calms me down."
Though his wife had managed their financial affairs since his deployment, Overman said he has never felt like he was a danger to himself or others.
"I didn't know the VA could take away your guns," he said.
The background check system was created in 1993 by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, named after White House Press Secretary James Brady, who was partially paralyzed after being shot in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan.
The law requires gun stores to run the names of prospective buyers through the computerized system before every sale.
The system's databases contain more than 13 million records, which include the names of felons, immigrants in the U.S. illegally, fugitives, dishonorably discharged service members, drug addicts and domestic abusers.
State agencies, local police and federal agencies are required to enter names into the databases, but the system has been hampered by loopholes and inconsistent reporting since its launch.
The shortcomings became clear in the wake of the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting, in which Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people. Cho had been declared mentally ill by a court and ordered to undergo outpatient treatment, but at the time the law did not require that he be added to the databases.
Congress expanded the reporting requirements, but Social Security determined it was not required to submit records, according to LaVenia LaVelle, an agency spokeswoman. Someone can be incapable of managing their funds but not be dangerous, violent or unsafe. They are very different determinations. - Dr. Marc Rosen, Yale psychiatrist
After 20-year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, 20 children and six school staffers in Newtown in 2012, President Obama vowed to make gun control a central issue of his second term.
The effort fell flat. Congress ultimately rejected his proposals for new gun control legislation.
But among 23 executive orders on the issue was one to the Department of Justice to ensure that federal agencies were complying with the existing law on reporting to the background check system.
One baseline for other agencies is the VA, which has been entering names into the system since the beginning. About 177,000 veterans and survivors of veterans are in the system, according to VA figures.
The VA reports names under a category in gun control regulations known as "adjudicated as a mental defective," terminology that derives from decades-old laws. Its only criterion is whether somebody has been appointed a fiduciary.
More than half of the names on the VA list are of people 80 or older, often suffering from dementia, a reasonable criterion for prohibiting gun ownership.
But the category also includes anybody found by a "court, board, commission or other lawful authority" to be lacking "the mental capacity to contract or manage his own affairs" for a wide variety of reasons.
The agency's efforts have been criticized by a variety of groups.
Rosen, the Yale psychiatrist, said some veterans may avoid seeking help for mental health problems out of fear that they would be required to give up their guns.
Conservative groups have denounced the policy as an excuse to strip veterans of their gun rights.
Republicans have introduced legislation in the last several sessions of Congress to change the policy. The Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, now under consideration in the House, would require a court to determine that somebody poses a danger before being reported to the background check system.
Social Security would generally report names under the same "mental defective" category. The agency is still figuring out how that definition should be applied, LaVelle said.
About 2.7 million people are now receiving disability payments from Social Security for mental health problems, a potentially higher risk category for gun ownership. An addition 1.5 million have their finances handled by others for a variety of reasons.
The agency has been drafting its policy outside of public view. Even the National Rifle Assn. was unaware of it.
Told about the initiative, the NRA issued a statement from its chief lobbyist, Chris W. Cox, saying: "If the Obama administration attempts to deny millions of law-abiding citizens their constitutional rights by executive fiat, the NRA stands ready to pursue all available avenues to stop them in their tracks."
Gun rights advocates are unlikely to be the only opponents.
Ari Ne'eman, a member of the National Council on Disability, said the independent federal agency would oppose any policy that used assignment of a representative payee as a basis to take any fundamental right from people with disabilities.
"The rep payee is an extraordinarily broad brush," he said.
Since 2008, VA beneficiaries have been able to get off the list by filing an appeal and demonstrating that they pose no danger to themselves or others.
But as of April, just nine of 298 appeals have been granted, according to data provided by the VA. Thirteen others were pending, and 44 were withdrawn after the VA overturned its determination of financial incompetence.
Overman is one of the few who decided to appeal.
He is irritable and antisocial, he said, but not dangerous. "I've never been suicidal," he said. "To me that solves nothing."
More than a year and a half after Overman filed his challenge, the VA lifted its incompetence ruling, allowing his removal from the background check system before the VA ever had to determine whether he should be trusted with a gun.
Overman, who hasn't worked since leaving the military, said he and a friend are now thinking of opening a gunsmith business.

if you pay in, they should pay out period, no matter what your background looks like. If your background is so bad, you'd be in jail or prison anyway, or unable to go cash the fucking SS checks/make withdrawls in the first place
i wonder what happens to the money when someone fails the background check, does it go directly to obama's bank account?

Did you even bother to read the article? This has NOTHING to do with SS paying someone what they're owed.
I agree certain people shouldn't own guns, but we're no longer stopping at those certain people. Before we know it, to legally own a gun you're going to have to pay 100 grand in insurance, have a career that puts you in first class status, never have been caught, even as a kid, using drugs or committing any crime, pass a proficiency test and a full on psychological screening, and just basically creating law after law until virtually no one fits criteria to own them.

ok so basically its saying anyone who isn't an illegal immigrant is going to get extra background checks? isn't someone who already broke the law getting into the country, kind of a prime suspect
basically instead of doing extra gun background checks now they are going to just do everyone instead?

It doesnt matter old senile people prob shoot more people a year than police. It doesnt matter if ur getting money from the gov because ur crazy that should def show up on a firearm background check and should disqualify you from owning a gun.
They dont drug test welfare ppl cuz it costs too much

It's this simple it's an end run around the 2nd ammendment. I don't even own a gun. But goddammit I should be permited to own one if I see that I want to. Not trying to stray too far but It's been tested at State levels to where you can't buy a hunting or fishing licsense if you are behind on child support or owe restitution. I know some of you will say it's not the same thing but connect the dots.

I thought we were supposed to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people, and yet we can't see who is actually getting SS benefits becasue they are mentally ill? Remember these people actually applied for these benefits. It's not like the government is saying if you get SS benefits you can't have a gun. They told the government they need money becasue they are too mentally ill too work.

i wonder what happens to the money when someone fails the background check, does it go directly to obama's bank account?
You act as though SS is a savings account with your money in it. It isn't. What you pay in goes to people currently on SS. When you collect you will be collecting money that working people are paying in, not money you put away years ago - that money was long since spent.

Does anyone even read the articles posted?
This has nothing to do with preventing people from getting SS payments. This is simply to check if people are receiving payments because they are mentally ill.

gun ownership, not buying new guns but it doesnt matter, SSI isnt like welfare, we all pay into SSI so we all have a retirement fund when we no longer are able to work, it's your money that you were forced to let the government handle for you until you reached retirement age
why arent food stamp and welfare recipients being forced to take drug tests with a fail meaning they can never collect again
.... argument cannot be argued with.
They do test welfare recipients in a bunch of states, but it turns out people on welfare don't use drugs that much. I guess it costs too much money.

Obama is a puppet. If you notice something with all politicians they are all against drugs. Drugs set you free and since the politicians like Obama are all puppets of the same hand who wants people to remain mentally enslaved he is against drugs even if he is a gay liberating social justice liberal sweet heart.

All he's ever said is "marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol". If he gave a shit or wanted social justice he would push for legalization of the herb.

I have wondered about this myself. If you are so nuts that you get SS disability for insanity you should not have a gun. Or maybe you should stop scamming the system. A whole lot of people are getting paid on fraudulent claims when they are perfectly capable of working

This. Mentally ill people shouldn't be allowed to own firearms.
