The ACLU agreed with the decision

https://waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ACLU.pdf

In December 2016, the SSA promulgated a final rule that would require the names of all Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit recipients who, because of a mental impairment, use a representative payee to help manage their benefits be submitted to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which is used during gun purchases.

We oppose this rule because it advances and reinforces the harmful stereotype that people with mental
disabilities, a vast and diverse group of citizens, are violent. There is no data to support a connection between the need for a representative payee to manage ones Social Security disability benefits and a propensity toward gun violence. The rule further demonstrates the damaging phenomenon of spread, or the perception that a disabled individual with one area of impairment automatically has additional, negative and unrelated attributes. Here, the rule automatically conflates one disability-related characteristic, that is, difficulty managing money, with the inability to safely possess a firearm

I've purchased two firearms so far. The first one was rifle; I purchased it through the store's website. When it arrived at the store and I went to pick it up, I had to fill out a form and wait close to an hour for my information to be verified and so that I could leave with my purchase. My second was a handgun which I purchased from different store but basically had the same experience.

Boo fucking hoo

you had to wait an hour

We should find a way to streamline and optimize the existing background checks, not expand them.

-automatic weapons are effectively banned
-armor piercing rounds and other specialty rounds are illegal in some states
-some states have regulations on magazine size
-some states ban larger caliber ammunitions

There's already too much that's banned and gun rights groups don't have enough power.

Please tell me what you need an automatic shotgun with unlimited armor piercing rounds for?

Aside from the fact that these restrictions are an attack on the second amendment, I'd rather have an automatic shotgun and armor piercing rounds and never need them than vice versa.

No. If someone feels very strongly about something then you might want to listen to what they have to say, but that doesn't mean you should actually base your decision on how strongly they feel.

During Trump's State of the Union Address last month, he brought on some parents whose children were killed by gang members who were illegal immigrants.

Why wasn't the left anxious to crack down on illegal immigration and strengthen ICE after this? The parents were very upset and they were crying.

If the argument that some people want to make is "This happens way too much and therefore we need more gun control." then the number of times it happens actually does matter and therefore it matters when people lie about it.

Why does the left care more about Trump lying about his crowd size then they do about lying about the number of mass shootings? Oh right, because pointing out one lie helps their agenda while pointing the other lie would hurt their agenda.

I've heard of some people combatting this sort of thing with ghost pepper extract, though you could potentially get in trouble for that.

How could you get in trouble for putting ghost pepper extract on your own candy, then leaving it on your own desk?

I don't know because I'm not a legal expert. Morally, I see no issue with doing this. But if the person became sick I wouldn't be surprised if you could somehow get in trouble for this.

I don't believe for a second that DE isn't sitting on a lifetime supply of Trump Steaks.

Well, technically they're not branded as Trump steaks anymore but I know who the distributors are. They're the exact same steaks that were branded as Trump steaks and they're the only ones I buy.

And I do have some of the leftover Trump Streaks boxes in my fridge and freezer that I use to store the steaks in.

Well I lock everything now. Kinda sad that I can't trust adults not to be disgusting ghetto trash.

I still want to punish them though

It's just food, dude. Don't leave any more around and it won't be an issue any more.

It is an issue. Just because it's food doesn't make stealing okay. I personally think he should talk with management and try to get the offenders from the cleaning company fired instead of adding something to the food, but stealing is not okay and scumbag thieves need to be dealt with one way or another.

And possibly just shut the fuck up forever. Full stop.

Nope. Not happening. Looking at your username, I'm guessing that you're from Canada where you're not allow to publicly express certain opinions (especially if they're right leaning).

Well, thanks to President Trump, we have something called the Bill of Rights over here in the U.S. And the first amendment protects our right to express whatever opinions we want.

It's not surprising. People are taking home more money every paycheck. We're seeing the lowest black unemployment rate of all time. The media's baseless character attacks won't work against things like this. They can't put a negative spin on the bigger paychecks and better employment opportunities that Americans are experiencing.

They're trying hard to undermine him; day and night. Nonstop anti-Trump coverage on CNN. It's become an absolute joke to watch, and I watch it for entertainment purposes.

Today in the Situation Room w/ Wolf Blitzer, he was interviewing a co-Trump hater who cut to a narrated piece of Trump's weekend, during which pictures and short video clips were shown. The narration, during one part, almost word for word was, "Trump spent his entire weekend watching cable news, tweeting, and getting riled up by his two sons over the FBI"---as if they even know what he was doing. He normally doesn't allow them in there. It's not time consuming or hard to send out a few tweets.

If it weren't for the constant onslaught of slander, false information and negative stories---Trump's approval would be much higher; easily over 50%.

I don't think it really even has all that much to do with Trump. They claim it does, but it doesn't.

SJWs basically rose to power during the Obama administration. They arrogantly thought that Republicans would never win another presidential election again. I guarantee that if Romney or someone similar was elected instead of Trump, they'd be acting just and petty and childish.
