First it was the Obama administration trying to prevent US veterans from purchasing firearms, because the Veterans Affairs evaluations labeled veterans as "mentally defective." More than simply a disgusting insult, this information was put into the federal background data base.
Now the Orwellian (read Obama) administration wants to take away the Second Amendment rights of people who need help managing their Social Security benefits, for whatever reason they need help.
Next we might expect the Second Amendment rights of all members of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy," as Hillary Clinton called conservatives, to be taken away. It isn't so outrageous to think so--history shows it has happened.
What is Obama's endgame?
In the 1938 German Weapons Act, which superseded the 1928 German weapons laws, many gun restrictions were relaxed in several areas.
Under this law, gun restriction only applied to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition.
The revisions allowed the purchase and transfer of rifles and shotguns and one could possess ammo with a permit. Even the legal age for purchasing firearms was lowered from 20 to 18, and gun permits were valid for 3 years, rather than 1 year.
Gun manufacturing required a permit, but Jews were no longer issued permits, and if a gun manufacturing company was even partly owned by a Jew, no permit was issued. In fact, any Jew caught in possession of a firearm or dealing in them was sentenced to 20 years in a concentration camp.
Sound familiar? Substitute "Conservative" for "Jew" and think about history.
In the United States, a majority of gun owners are conservatives. There are, of course, liberals and left-wing people in the entertainment industry and politics, for example, who own guns or have armed security ensuring their safety. They support the Second Amendment, but only when it applies to them.
We have a so-called president who is doing a gun-grab and slowly eroding our Constitution. We have a so-called president who is making deals with terrorists that are clearly bad and dangerous deals. He sees his legacy as more important than the security of our nation and of the world.
We have a Republican-dominated Congress that is allowing him to get away with this abuse of power. They complain but do nothing to curb his behavior.
Speak out.

"First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out--because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me." Martin Niemoller
