Jim, no disrespect at all...but the game has changed and both of these men have been in their profession for 20 plus years each. There was so much in the details of what is coming in under the “new” and “upcoming” laws that maybe you haven’t been aware of it yet. Because the bigger parts of Obamacare go into effect in 2014.
The line was just crossed this morning with the stroke of a pen and Obama said it loud and clear enough to strike up the conversation with a physician and LEO who were not even remotely speaking to each other at the time of the speech.
Things have changed. Big time.
With regard to “data mining”, I see some of that stuff and what if it means (EO #2 with health care info) that a prescription for an anti-depressant that you took for a few months when your mom died 6 years ago shows up on your gun purchasing background check and the government red flags and denies it because you are deemed to be at risk of killing yourself or others.
Or what if your spouse wants to buy a weapon, with no history of depression - but your anti-depressant meds show up and deny the spouse’s purchase as you might have access to the gun.
