"The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR)"? WTH?

And who’s suprised by such a thing?

So, the FBI, NSA, CIA, and DHS have a hard time talking to each other about terrorist immigrants, but your nurse’s aide will have no trouble blocking your pistol purchase through the DOJ.

a notation on which of the ten prohibited categories is applicable to the individual

Ten categories could be expanded to 100 with little to no fanfare. Pretty soon, everyone will be denied for some reason or another, and the appeals process will be backlogged, confusing, and convoluted.

And the liberals will have won.

Here comes the total control matrix.

Who is going to be a “dissident” when it might mean your health records are “accidentally deleted?”

Or you lose your RKBA?

Or you child might not get a needed operation. “Sorry, no more slots are available this year. Apply again next year.”

This is the face of an evil dictatorship.

So all those millions of Americans who are on SSRI meds will have their guns confiscated. Just one of the repercussions.

[Tenacious 1]

Some free advice:

Doctors are, currently in some places and soon will be in others, asking patients and even children, “Do you or do your parents have guns in the house?”

My children know to look the doctor or any other adult who asks in the eye and “I do not know.” I and my wife will take the liberty of lying outright if necessary. Your ownership of firearms will soon be something kept in your medical records.

My children’s pediatrician asked me this several years ago. I told him he should never ask that question again. He apologized profusely and started to explain why he is now supposed to ask. BTW - He has his carry license and does carry concealed. Go figure.

What could possibly go wrong with this?

Those “unnecessary legal barriers” were the very backbone of HIPAA when it was first introduced. An onerous burden upon doctors at first, making a lot of paperwork and much arcane and tedious language when discussing diagnosis and treatment of individuals.

Apparently there is no longer any expectation of privacy in ANY transaction today, with the exception of what the Current Regime is doing in the White Hut. Whatever is going on there, is classified so highly that only the enemy shall ever find out what is going on, if in fact the denizens of the White Hut are not in active collusion with what are perceived to be enemies of the republic.

I yearn for the days when the only worldwide competition the US faced was the Communist menace. This revival of the Ottoman Empire and its Worldwide KKKaliphate is a reversion to the collapse of Rome, this time America playing the part of the Caesars.

...ensures that guns are not sold to those prohibited by law from buying them...

A law to enforce a law? Truly Kafka-esque

I have a particularly important warning for anyone here who is 65 or over and receiving Medicare. Four or five months ago I received an envelope from Social Security that didn't look sufficiently official to open and tossed it. Then, about two months ago, I received a follow up to that envelope and, being reasonably curious, I opened it. It turned out that the envelope contained an ostensibly anonymous questionnaire that initially appeared to be about the kind of care I was receiving from my primary care physician and his staff. I use the term "ostensibly anonymous" because the form, although it did not contain any place for me to add my name or sign it and did not have my name printed on it, did have a block of digital encoding similar to what appears on airline tickets. Anyway, once I read through the innocuous part of the questionnaire about my doctor, I came to the real zinger, an extensive set of questions about my personal medical condition, including any emotional problems for which I might have sought treatment. IOW DHHS attempted to get me to give it highly personal medical information in an individually encoded and identifiable document that falsely purported to be anonymous and to be part of a random survey. Being the forgetful oldster I am, I somehow forgot to return it. I urge any other FReeper in my position to do the same with one of these vile things.

Unless you can get your doctor to agree and PROMISE to not share information with the government which could be used against you, get another doctor.

Come on, after all, we live in a nation where the false right to kill a baby was created using our right to privacy.

If through a right to privacy we can kill babies, then we certainly have a right to prevent the government from knowing what 2nd Amendment protection devices we have in our homes.

The number of deaths from all the mass-shootings in the past 40 years are equal to the number of Chicago shooting deaths in 2012 alone.

But most of the Chicago deaths are black people, so Ubama doesn't care.

Our mafia connected governor, Cuomo has been working with the Federal Stasi using NY State’s unconstitutional gun law as a test vehicle to find a way to circumvent HIPAA.

Their first attempt failed miserably in Western NY with a gun owner deprived of his guns but then they had to be returned to him. Hopefully a few of our NY State Storm-troopers will be getting some new orange uniforms because of their violation of 1) A constitutional guarantee 2) HIPAA.

American Psychological Association is virulently anti-gun at the highest levels of the organizations’ structure.

The American Psychological Association can not be allowed to become unelected unaccountable politically motivated doyens who can grant or rip away the natural born rights of men without a equitable system of checks and balances that is not a “pay for justice” stacked judicial kangaroo court system.

The NRA needs to come out in total against ObamaCare, put it all on the line, or they will have in fact surrendered the concept of natural born rights of man to protect one’s self, home family and property.

This is end game moves in the history of our republic.

I highly doubt the schmucks and co-opted high rent charlatans running the NRA and GOP House leadership will give a fight over this.

It's in the nature of Soviet government, no matter by whom practiced (vide the Chinese "Golden Shield") to tie everything in with everything.
