this process has been in place for years to merely assign a representative a payee. that someone to help a recipient with their finances who is authorized to deal with the bureaucracy on the behalf of our social security recipient. now, that is is being used to report beneficiaries to a list so they cannot buy or own a gun. of course, once on that list : individuals are prohibited as i have already inferred, from purchasing, owning, and possessing firearms. thus, violating second amendment rights. the regulation is flawed beyond any kind of repair. it results in reporting people to the done ban list that should not be on that list at all. it deprives those people forl their constitutional rights and in a very important way for the their constitutional rights without due process. under current federal law one must first be deemed totally mentally defective before being reported to the gun ban list. however, the mental disorders must in this regulation is filled with vague characteristics that do not fit into the federal mentally defective standard. the disorder list i
