I’ve heard somewhere that around a quarter of adults take some sort of psychiatric medication, anti-depressants being the most common.
It is very easy to say all those people need to lose their ability to own a firearm, due to suicide risk.
You would think that was overblown but from working in HR and people's life insurance questionnaires came through our office, it amazed me how many people were on anti-depressents. 25% sounds about right. So there's 25% per Obama that should not have access to guns and counting their spouses or whatever (see post about beneficiaries being checked for "mental illness") that would make about 50% of people who should not have access to guns.
Meaning he only has 50% more who would not have access to legal guns and 100% who would have access to illegal guns through a much increased black market. Duh.
The flip side of this equation is that doctor-patient privilege has been killed, tens of thousands of doctors have quit their practices because it was too expensive to comply with the data law, and dozens of federal agencies can now easily access anyone’s medical records.
The question must be asked: are we better off now? The answer is a profound “No!”
HIPAA and HITECH use the same awful logic as does gun control. They identified a problem, but then came up with a solution that neither even inhibits, much less ends, the problem, but creates a mountain of extremely expensive new problems on top of it.
“The question must be asked: are we better off now? “
Is the wrong question.
Is our data more secure? Generally, yes it is.
Is our health care better? No, but its due to insurance issues and not so much healthcare. Individual doctors don’t care much about HIPAA. They put out a privacy notice and dont really do much else.
The clinical regulations on doctors are much more significant. Its unbelievable how many regulations doctors have to follow.
“HIPAA and HITECH use the same awful logic as does gun control. They identified a problem, but then came up with a solution that neither even inhibits, much less ends, the problem, but creates a mountain of extremely expensive new problems on top of it.”
HIPAA is basic IT security. Thats all it is except the part that lets the feds do whatever they want with our data.
Instead of saying I’m not answering that question. Just lie and say you don’t own any guns.
The next step will be to force the Medical profession and pharmacists to tell the Govt., who is taking drugs like Aricept , Namenda, Doneprizil, or any other drugs that indicate mental impairment.
To accomplish compiling this list, the Govt will of course have to expand and hire more employees to keep track.
Some people with non mental problems, are treated with drugs that can be used for mental problems , so they would be on the list.
Look for Obama to try this.
It is a double bubble for Govt., more power over citizens, and expanded Govt. -Tom
Can we PLEASE start talking about secession now? FedZilla is getting worse and worse.
And the new DSM-V code book for mental disorders will be expanded to include pretty much everything. Want a handgun for protection? Obviously you are paranoid and can’t be trusted with firearms. Voted for a republican? Obviously you can’t be trusted with firearms. White? You are so riddled with guilt and racism you can’t be trusted with firearms.
>>They fought and fought until they got the liberal they truly wanted.
I didn’t vote for Romney in the Florida primary, so he isn’t what I wanted. I didn’t vote for Obama in the general election because he is the exact opposite of what I wanted.
But that was 2012. Now its 2016. Our worst fears have been confirmed: that neither major party supports conservatism and that more than half of all Americans are on the dole for one thing or another. No matter what their beliefs, they won’t vote against their meal ticket.
People are so stupid that they bitch about buying Chinese products and then complain about the price of American goods, so they demand that US workers get paid what Chinese workers make and then bitch when their own wages are cut.
The John Dewey public education system has done a good job at indoctrinating generations of Americans to think that Progressivism is kindness and a free market is cruelty, oppression, and exploitation.
America just wants cheap energy, cheap electronics, FMLA for every little thing, and lots of easy government money. The Yankee Work Ethic died in the 1980s. Conservatism died sometime in the last decade. The last pillar of Americanism, our cultural Christianity, is being dismantled right before our eyes.
Yup, everyone visiting or posting to FR should expect a no-knock SWATing raid on their house when Obola and Democrat-marxist PTB give the word ;n)

“sounds like Obama will never be able to buy a firearm”
So, if it can determined that he can’t buy a firearm could he operate a firearm or have control over a firearm?
He does have control of the military, domestic police, predator drones and the “football”, ie firearms.
So if a congressionally appointed psychiatrist reports that 0bama is not qualified to operate or control a firearm, take away his position as CIC.
[”REAL ID” will morph into a national ID card system ever so slowly over years and years. You won’t even have access to a gas pump, school, bank, or mall in 2020 unless you scan your national ID card.]
For these reasons, I believe the technology, while fascinating stuff, will result in the reality of Revelation chapter 13. It could have been implemented decades ago with debit and credit cards, direct deposit, etc. alone but now will be even more feasible.
Revelation 13:16-18 King James Version (KJV)
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six
They showed two LIV’s on TV last night who fell for that obviously-poor acting.
Unbelievable
a ping to you as well
“Your attorney draws up the paper to have your daughter sign checks for you or manage a living trust, you loose your firearms.”
Uh, no - at least not yet (that may be in a future rule).
Your disability needs to be permanent in nature. Being on a morphine drip in a hospital after a car accident doesn’t disable you any more than temporarily.
Besides, ALLOWING someone to sign your checks does NOT make you disabled. You could just be lazy.
So? Same difference when the Republicans are in there. THEY enabled this dictatorship without any opposition whatsoever.
We don't need no stinking Republicans anymore. We're better off with Democrats in there enabling the tyrannical dictatorship that the Republicans have helped establish.
Makes knowing who our enemies are much easier to know.
No, we haven’t even taken the first step which is state nullification of unconstitutional federal acts.
Our template for valid secession is the Declaration of Independence (D/I). The South was wrong and lost because they failed to go through the process of valid secession.
The D/I shows valid secession 1) should not be “for light or transient causes” 2) requires a certain “patient sufferance” while “evils are sufferable” 3) notifying and submitting the facts of abuse “to a candid world” (27 specific abuses are listed in the D of I) and finally 4) “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such Government.” This is not a constitutional dictate, but, as the D/I says, what “Prudence, indeed, will dictate...”
Again, we have not begun. or have barely begun, to take the first steps in resisting unconstitutional federal tyranny which includes states nullifying unconstitutional federal acts and making their case with sound constitutional -based rationale. States can’t take federal funds on day one and then declare valid secession on day two.
Very telling when Party hacks assert that "principles" are a "desire for perfect" and are a negative.
They forget we had 12 years of Bushes - where principles did not matter and the nation was dragged to the Left that made an Obama possible.
