One thing that comes through - if you want to keep your guns you better never seek medical help for any mental issues (even depression) you think you might have or for any substance abuse issues. If any issues like that hit your digital medical records database you will be SOL.
remember, the devil’s in the details! Who’s read the actual orders?
Get a load of the Gun Party Barry. It will be like the Tea Party on steroids.
Yeah, that’s not the finger I’m raising.

This is the funny one. You mean, like people from SOUTH of the border — ones who kill American border agents? Perhaps they mean ....slipping through the BORDER!!
Pure political posturing...picking fights to build himself up and make proposals to give the impression he is accomplishing great things for the nation. A sad state of affairs that such “leaders” are given the public trust...
More liberal mental masturbation.
Why not spend the money on providing safe weapons training to youngsters and adults?
I agree, look for the fight to now shift to the state level.
By linking gun control to mental health hence obummercare, he can declare all gun owners as mentally ill.
The soviets favorite tactic was to label all dissidents as mentally ill to silence them
In the article it says he wants to ban clips holding more than 10 rounds (there’s a grandfather clause) but it’s not listed among the “directives”. Am I missing something?
I am trying to see what I missed. Basically its saying if someone is a certified nut they should be prevented from buying or owing weapons. Who can disagree with that?
I’m worried about MD, too. So far the worst things I’ve seen bandied about are a ban on mags over 10 rounds (right now the limit is 15) and adding more “assault weapons” to the banned list. O’Malley mentioned fingerprinting the other day but it wasn’t in the latest list of proposals that I saw.
I have a hair trigger on impeachment.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
Someone needs to setup a website that anyone can log into and report medical professionals who ask about fire arms in their patient’s homes. This would out the so called health care professionals and allow patriotic citizens to search for like minded health care providers.
Watch the other hand, folks.
Looks like a bunch of new government programs to me ...more reasons to spend more money we don’t have.
Doctors ALREADY sometimes ask if there are guns in the home.
I have an autistic son — if someone wants to advise me on how to best keep my guns locked up, I welcome that advice. Just not sure WHO is best to give me that advice ...an MD, or someone from the NRA?
I had a female pediatric doctor ask me (with my 4 year old son in the room) if I had any guns in the house. I told her I would answer her question if first she told me how many dildos she had in her house.
I then asked, “oh, I’m sorry, did you find that offensive? I find your question equally offensive.”
game, set, match.

What’s the source for this list? And why are you suspended or banned?
We’ve all been played.
Nothing in those executive orders that is an abuse of power that triggers articles of impeachment.
Was this a social reactive experiment carried out by the FedGov or something?
