Yea, the problem with that barry rule was it was Way to fucking broad as to who decides who is crazy and how exactly how they are to come to that decision. It was a way for barry and co to enact Some kind of gun control even though there are virtually no crimes that could have been prevented by this measure. I don't think it was a Bad law, just a very poorly written one that would be prone to misuse and abuse.
It also was unfairly discriminatory in that it Only affected people on SS and no one else.
I am all about getting guns away from the crazies, but it has to be fair

The problem, to me, isn't that SS recipients with mental disabilities are being prohibited from gun ownership. That's as it should be. I don't want another gramps or grams to shoot/kill themselves or others due to confusion/dementia, etc..

The problem is that so few states and courts actually report non-SS recipients deemed incompetent to NICS, as required under the law. If the SS Administration fully complies with the law and few other agencies do, the rule becomes sorta discriminatory in execution.

I agree. Its just a badly written rule that needs to be replaced with a properly written law.
Its got all kinds of strange supporters and objectors, some for honest good reason but mostly I suspect are for political bullshit on both sides of the fence
