Guns don't require permits to own in almost all of America. Where the rest of your shit comes from was already mentioned.The NCIS doesn't track sales or know what the fuck you're buying, only that you haven't had a problem. Stwpyd is right. Go get some basic info instead of pontificating and pulling scenarios out of your ass.It seems some of the left wing bellowing herd on this thread haven't bothered to read it and are still spouting false information. Your points were disproved pages ago but it seems repetition is needed for the mentally deficient liars of the left. From Pupps' post 126...again
The ACLU disagrees with you and favors repeal of the rule for the reasons I mentioned earlier in the thread.

Your source is also wrong concerning being legally declared incompetent as a requirement to be put on the list. It is not, it is triggered merely by having your SS check go to someone other than the recipient. As follows per the ACLU:
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 one’s 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.
The rule includes no meaningful due process protections prior to the SSA’s transmittal of names to the NICS database. The determination by SSA line staff that a beneficiary needs a representative payee to manage their money benefit is simply not an “adjudication” in any ordinary meaning of the word. Nor is it a determination that the person “[l]acks the mental capacity to contract or manage his own affairs” as required by the NICS. Indeed, the law and the SSA clearly state that representative payees are appointed for many individuals who are legally competent.
Oh, I read it alright. You misrepresent what it says. And the ACLU is wrong on this one. That should not be surprising to you righties. For instance, from your link that you claim was not read.
who, because of a mental impairment, use a representative payee to help manage their benefits
So, there is no argument here. We are talking about people with a mental impairment that prevents them from being able to adequately handle their finances. If they show up at a jewelry store and purchases a big fat diamond for Vanna White, well the store has to take it back. If they show up at a furniture store and purchase a whole house of furniture, when the custodian gets wind of it the purchase is canceled, no penalty, it is the LAW. Honestly, they can waltz in to a gun store and purchase all the guns they want. When the custodian gets wind of it, the gun store has to take the guns back and refund all the money.
So, why should this person's name not be in the NICS database? The sale would most likely be voided after the custodian finds out. Hardly believe the purchase of a gun would qualify as a needed expense. Definitely going to be flagged when the Department of Social Services reviews the expenditures. Seems even the gun store owner would want that protection. Otherwise, the sale is going to be a huge waste of time.
And the "due process" argument of the ACLU is futile. Nobody is randomly assigned a representative payee. The beneficiary can nominate whomever they like. They can change their representative whenever they like. If they don't believe they should be assigned a representative payee they can appeal the decision, in other words, "adjudicate". If they believe they no longer need a representative payee they can file a motion and once again, have it "adjudicated".
STEWPYD.
Nope, the NCIS doesn't track sales or know what the fuck someone is buying. But, Social Services DOES TRACK PURCHASES made through a Representative Payee Account. Reports have to be filed. Purchases have to be justified. A gun requiring a permit would not be justified. The gun would be returned, the gun store owner would be required to refund the entire purchase price and more than likely get a dressing down for conducting a financial transaction with a mentally incompetent individual.
So tell me, why should this person's name not be in the database?
