This should stir the pot. Looks like Obama should have read the "Obamacare" law before he signed it, OR he was so eager to get "Obamacare" that he didn't care about the "gun owners" clause that was in it! So, Obama was either stupid for not reading the bill OR knew the clause was necessary to get his "Obamacare" passed, so that his ego could soar! Wednesday, it was discovered that hidden deep within the massive 2800-page bill called Obamacare, there is a Senate Amendment protecting the right to keep and bear arms. It seems that in their haste to cram socialized medicine down the throats of the American people, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama overlooked Senate amendment 3276, Sec. 2716, part c. According to that amendment, the government cannot collect "any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition." This means that the government CANNOT mandate firearm registration. No registration, no confiscation. Poor ol' Joe Biden, he spent the last couple of weeks focusing on making a law requiring registration. Good thing is though, the amendment also states that not even an executive order can override the amendment. CNN is now referring to it as "a gift to the nation's powerful gun lobby." And according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), that's exactly right. He says he personally added the provision in order to keep the NRA from getting involved in the legislative fight over Obamacare, which was so ubiquitous in 2010. It looks like Harry Reid actually helped out firearm owners without even realizing it. Thanks Harry!!

Shame on you Harry Reid.
Didn’t Obama over ride all this via the 19 executive orders on gun control?
See executive order #16.

According to the provison in Obamacare .. IT CANNOT BE OVERRIDDEN BY EXECUTIVE ORDER.
So, if Obama did try to use an executive order, he has just broken the law.
see post #5
I just don’t but anything past this guy.
Well, neither do I .. and the fact that there appears to be an attempt to silence what Obamacare says, tells me that somebody in the legislative brance needs to be paying attention to the EO and make sure it is expunged.
It is amazing that years later we still do not know what is in this freekin bill.
My own sense of personal dignity forbids gun registration.
Your links to Brietbart.com do not work properly. The lead to an Error 404 -Not Found page.
Nice!!
It won’t matter, they will just do what they want and ignore the law. Nobody has called them on a single thing in 4 years so they can essentially do whatever they want. They could literally repeal the first amendment tomorrow and nobody would do anything to stop them. Its all over but the cryin’
my computer gives me an error message . message cannot be found. any suggestions?
Well, I guess we could read the original document,
But it wouldn’t make ay difference. They are writing as they go along.
It infuriates me.
From what I have seen it only eliminates the organs of the state empowered buy the affordable care act from doing so.
That the FOPA already did this means little to those in govt that think laws only apply to us. NOT them
I think this is the link. . .
