"A potentially large group within Social Security are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to manage their own affairs due to "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease."

One key issue that I have not seen people mentioning is this push for both VA and SS disqualification sidesteps the entire issue of judicial adjudication.

Remember, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) states in part:
18 U.S.C. § 922(g) It shall be unlawful for any person—
...
(4) who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution;
...to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
Some nimrod, anti-gun, faceless federal bureaucrat pushing pencil onto paper does not constitute "adjudication". :banghead: :banghead:
