                    GUN GRAB THROUGH SOCIAL SECURITY

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, President Obama is at it 
again. He is now seeking to deny millions of law-abiding Americans 
their Second Amendment right to bear arms by going through Social 
Security.
  And why is that? Because he couldn't get gun control through the 
Congress. The American people wouldn't stand for it.
  Mr. Speaker, old age or a disability does not make someone a threat 
to society. These folks should be able to defend themselves, just like 
everyone else.
  As chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee and a staunch 
defender of the Second Amendment, I will do everything in my power to 
stop this gun grab. Yesterday I ordered the Commissioner of Social 
Security to stand down and abandon any such plan.
  Mark my words: Americans' Second Amendment rights must and will be 
protected.
