Social security gun ban is coming :(

Post Reply New Topic

When asked whether they would support measures to restrict the mentally ill from gun ownership, 83 percent of gun owners were in favor and only 8 percent opposed. In fact, the percentage of gun owners in favor of such measures surpassed that of all Americans, 81 percent of which as a whole favor keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill.

Actually, perhaps I do support the proposed ban. It does separate those that are mentally incompetent from those who are just physically disabled. The investigation begins using your ability to manage finances as a starting point. This doesn't necessarily apply to all autistic people, just the most severely affected. And it doesn't say that just because you need help with finances, you can't have a gun. Typical of gun nuts, you guys have been misrepresenting the law.

So a person who can work, preform norms cations but sucks at math should be barred from guns?

Lots of aspies are given representative payees because they don't think that their be good with money based on how they act at 14. What 14 or even 18 year old who's never had money is going be instantly good with money.

I've owned guns for many years now and been fine with them and you have be killed because you without any knowledge of my mental ability think I and others shouldn't have guns because your so much superior to us

You can say People support anything if you phrase it just right and only ask people in areas you know are bused towards your goal. If your anti gun you poll liberal cities who are anti gun.

You have no f*****g idea about mental illness or how a payee is decided.

You're so f*****g insensitive and don't care one ass about the millions of innocent people that will be harmed by this. It's not you so f**k them all right

At the risk of triggering the other people, here, I have not publicly embraced my autistic tendencies, for fear of being called incompetent.

Dissidence, living arrangements, work history, grades, and tax avoidance can also be labeled incompetent, an arbitrary distinction, in the tradition of Martin Niemöller.

Marinus van der Lubbe was said to have psychological problems.

I wasn't taken to the doctor, unless my parents were peer-pressured to participate in some subsidized program.

I found verbal tests, at the earliest possible opportunity of independence, and they say I should not be able to function.

So, without making assumptions about anyone else, here, I could be labeled (grossly) incompetent.

I don't lay trips on people around me, or abreact to them, but take a functional approach toward my problems. I prefer to separate myself from dysfunctional situations. Can NT people realistically say the same?

Under Communism / Socialism is a faction of purposely underemployed people, called the labor surplus or industrial army, intended to be conscripted into menial labor or synthetic protest, or they are made into scapegoats. The problem is a matter of design. It happens by choice.

Not the kinds of choices that I make.

How can everything be your fault.

Was 1st grade teacher who first diagnosed me. Then doctors later
