WASHINGTON (AP) — Blocked by Congress from expanding gun sale background checks, President Barack Obama is turning to actions within his own power to keep people from buying a gun who are prohibited for mental health reasons.

No, perfect timing. America’s attention is diverted. He can slip what he wants under the radar.

[CMailBag]

Where is the ACLU??

Perhaps he should try enforcing EXISTING laws.

When I first started using this name, some tried to intimidate me with the newbie label, but I have been a member since 1998and had merely lost my old password and decided it was time for a fresh name.

I ignored ‘em.

"...The Obama administration was starting a process Friday aimed at removing barriers in health privacy laws that prevent some states from reporting information to the background check system. "

Sounds like he wants to amend existing laws, primarily HIPAA. That isn't possible by executive order, AFAIK. Does anyone have a feel for what sort of resistance these privacy law changes will face in Congress? I'm a bit surprised that the required amendment language wasn't already in Obamacare - everything else sure seems to be in there.

I joined up here in 2000 right after I got my first Ruger Vaquero. had it been a year later, it might have been Model 1873(as in Winchester...mine being made in 1882)

I doubt our Dear Leader cares about the existing laws. Also, I have serious doubts that Congress will provide any real resistance.

The communists love to classify any opposition as “mentally ill”.

That’s what zero’s going for.

Too bad he isn’t taking action on finding out how two Islamic Terrorist brothers were able to obtain AUTOMATIC weapons.

“The communists love to classify any opposition as “mentally ill”.”

The Commie in Chief and all (ALL) of his support staff, all of his Cabinet are mentally ill. Mental Illness is the new DC disease, as it also infects most in Congress. And all thise responsible for his reelection are mentally ill, especially the 25 million ‘evangelical christians’ who voted for him.

Most are pro-Borts...perhaps it is time to do post term abortions.

and military style explosives....

I'll keep my guns as I suspect I may need to protect myself and my family from terrorists as the govt. is run by clowns...

Boy are we lucky! Model 1873 doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like Vaquero.
