The extra steps in bureaucracy required for any of this is not worth whatever potential benefits there are, the paperwork for getting food assistance is enough of a pain as is

Yeah I doubt many snap recipients have any of the above. Probably none do. The most likely is guns.

someone who has assets like this is probably only transiently between jobs/in a pinch and I don’t think they should have to tear down their lives to eat through a rough spot if they’re in a more permanent bad financial position they’ll need to sell that shit to get by soon anyway

I don’t mind the gun thing but people who have either the second or third one probably don’t need government food assistance

"Assault weapon" is a meaningless term based on a stupid law that isn't even in effect anymore

The key is liquid. Most states do not consider homes, personal property, and clear retirement assets (401k’s) when calculating eligibility, but maybe they should. They’re not liquid, but you can take out loans against them (incl pawning guns)
