Delivering on its promise to deliver "common sense" gun control, the Obama administration on Monday finalized a rule that enables health care providers to report the names of mentally ill patients to an FBI firearms background check system.
The action was one of a series of steps that President Barack Obama had called for in January 2013 in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings to curb gun violence, but the rule was not published until today.
While the 1993 Brady law prohibits gun ownership by individuals who have been involuntarily committed, found incompetent to stand trial or otherwise deemed by a court to be a danger to themselves or others, federal health care privacy rules prohibited doctors and other providers from sharing information without the consent of their patients.
Under the rule, which takes effect next month, for the first time health providers can disclose the information to the background check system without legal repercussions.

>> A bridge too far.
A bridge back-asswards...
Instead of a broader support network for the mentally impaired, the scumbags in govt blacklist them.
And our useless Congress goes through charades like the debacle about trying to pass a law saying they would enforce the laws being broken by sanctuary cities.
Alice visited a far saner place than we live in....
Time to actually invest ourselves in the causes that matter before all is lost...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
Like the shrink in Colorado who didn’t report Holmes for 2 years? (Aurora Theater shooting)?
This IS the camel’s nose!
He got them from Harvey.
Doctors can report some mentally ill patients to FBI under new gun control rule

Long story short, I called the UAV detachment and said under no circumstances were they to go to PTSD unless they REALLY, REALLY needed it, and needed a witness to confirm their accounts.
I got overuled by the BN CO and he said its completely voluntary and I can't order them not to go because they needed the money.
I told the BN CO, S2, S3, and BDE S2 that I was an FFL and know that at one point in the future, those PTSD sessions were going to come back and haunt those soldiers. Some listened to me. Most didn't heed my warning back in 2009.

Well, if the majority of your patients are Socialists, that’s where their head usually exists, so....
I miss the days when being a queer was a disorder.
Now you know why docs have been asking about gun ownership for the last few years.
“Dad, thank goodness you’re not around.”
I hear you. Mine would have been in jail. It sort of looks like his daughter might wind up there because of what he taught her. Better there or in the grave than a Commie subject. I’m channeling.
Indeed! See nothing...say Something
Oddly, the first people to make this publicly known were Communists.
My doc owns more weapons than me, and he constantly prescribes that I buy more.
This demonstrates how major it is to find the right doctor. Of course, the right doctors have probably fled the medical field by now.
Doctors will get there ass SUED for doing that! And, Boys and girls: FLASH: There IS NO gun show loophole, NOR any internet gun loophole. The VERY SAME laws apply there as apply anywhere else. Obama’s dictates can be LEGALLY IGNORED. He might get the DOJ to engage in selective, malicious, vindictive prosecution of people not in any way subject to BATFE jurisdiction, but he won’t get a SINGLE conviction.
And how many that ARE mentally ill seek professional help?
You were right. The nanny state wants us defenseless and out of our cars. It is the war on the independent. The government wants to do it all and take away our freedoms. Nice trade. Not!
That’s rich— the mentally ill weirdos on the Left redefining mental illness.
