If the shooter is an old person on SS you got yourself a deal.
But their talking about recipients of SS disability, that isn't just old people. I don't know what I think of this, even the military does psych evals before sending a soldier out in the field with a weapon or an expensive piece of machinery.
James Holmes, the Colorado theater shooter most certainly was a nut case, even though he wasn't drawing S.S., but most of those drawing "mental" checks are not elderly!
Actually the Layfette, LA movie theater shooting by Houser in 2015 is a perfect example, he should have never had a gun.

Right. It is the whole privacy issue like pk mentioned in the first reply.
IMO, anyone who gets a SS disability check for being "mentally disabled" ought to have to appear before a judiciary board to see if their illness warrants removal of their 2A right.
I know it flies in the face of the privacy rights, but I think when you are getting tax payer dollars because of a "mental disability", it isn't unreasonable to ask for a court ruling for the general safety of the populace.
Simply making a blanket law like Obama did is just plain unconstitutional.
I don't think you have to be mentally disabled to have this kick in, just having someone else handle the ss payments will raise a red flag. Now the checks are electronic so a person not great with technology might want some other family member to deal with it. This law is over reaching.
What idiotic BS! Many people receive S.S. or S.S.I. because they have been qualified to receive benefits because they have been diagnosed as having mental disabilities by DOCTORS ....... not a freaking court!
And judging by some of the responses in this thread, many, many, many more would fit that diagnosis!
Are you even an American? If so, shame on you for not knowing this. To legally take people's rights away or declare someone's incompetent:
File for Guardianship.
Consult an Attorney.
Schedule a Psychological Evaluation.
Submit the Evaluation to the Court.
Attend the Hearing.
Not doctor shall decide your mental capability! Somehow Trump is called Nazi but Obama was not, not even for blatantly bypassing the due process in this case.

I think anybody agrees with Obama on this issue should be declared mentally ill as they clearly can't see the what is wrong here.
In case you are blind or ignorant:
DUE PROCESS!!!
