In what the National Rifle Association has called the “largest gun grab in American history,” the Social Security Administration is proposing to report individuals who receive disability benefits and who have a mental health condition to the FBI for background checks.

The agency said it planned to publish the proposed rule Thursday in the Federal Register, according to The Hill.

“We propose to provide pertinent information about these individuals to the Attorney General on not less than a quarterly basis … we would also notify individuals, both orally and in writing, of their possible Federal prohibition on possessing or receiving firearms, the consequences of such inclusion, the criminal penalties for violating the Gun Control Act, and the availability of relief from the prohibitions imposed by Federal law,” the proposed rule adds.
