Uncle Ed wrote: His view of support or defense of individual rights always comes down to legislating them out of existence, using "death by a thousand cuts" methodology... One of his last acts as President was to screw over hundreds of thousands of SS recipients who have their finances conducted by a third party: these became "incompetent", i.e. "mental defectives", and therefore placed on the "prohibited" list by faceless bureaucrats working inside the SS system...
Looks like you need 999 more cuts. Can you get us at least a third of the way there to better illustrate how pushing a 2015 Social Security Administration proposal placing arguably mentally incompetent people on a federal no-buy list qualifies as unequivocally 'hating guns', as opposed to merely (or possibly) being misguided?
Interesting factoid #1: the 'mental defective' characterization is actually a term/condition defined by the VA for laws already in place that long preceded the SSA's 2015 proposed rule, by decades. Folks subject to the latter's requirement would be classified per that terminology but the 2015 proposal did not introduce that term.
Interesting factoid #2: actually, all bureaucrats have faces.
