Interesting point. The question I have is how much of cash benefits to recipients are used for gun purchases?

...The firearms ban (click here) is a blatant violation of the Second Amendment. Cash benefit recipients presumably have the same rights as the rest of us to purchase guns for hunting, sports shooting, or even self-defense. Obviously they don't have much money to spend on that, but they do have the right under the Second Amendment to do so.... 

I doubt he is really endorsing gun sales with cash from government subsidy programs, however, his point is valid. Once the cash is provided to recipients, the government loses control of it. I am interested in knowing how many of the poor are armed by the cash benefits of government subsidies?

Walmart gets welfare for it's employees and now so does the NRA.
