Hard truth. Can it get any worse? Oh yes, it can. A latest gun-grabbing proposal from the Obama administration has left Monica Crowley practically speechless:

What is it? Take a gander. And fume:
Obama looks to ban Social Security recipients from owning guns http://t.co/jZ0oFiZ3yu pic.twitter.com/mE5DwqtMVj

More from Fox News (and video at the link):
If Social Security, which has never taken part in the background check system, uses the same standard as the Department of Veterans Affairs – which is the idea floated – then millions of beneficiaries could be affected, with about 4.2 million adults receiving monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.”
The latest move is part of the efforts by President Obama to strengthen gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012.
Critics are blasting the plan, saying that expanding the list of people who cannot own guns based on financial competence is wrongheaded.
Wow.
Citizens are outraged.

@MonicaCrowley I'm not a Constitutional scholar but how does that not violate "the right…to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed?"

Good question. Care to answer, Obama?
@FoxNews @Momma4America how does getting SS mean you give up 2nd amendment rights??

Another good question. Obama won’t answer, so we will:
