Obammy got skeerd?
Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.
ie...more of your private info is open to anyone who want to see it.
EFF these people....
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
I love this. I think you better choose your doctor carefully. Who wants to get involved in this.
How so?
I didn’t see anything there that would keep a doctor from asking.
They can ask, but you don’t have to answer and they can’t collect and store data from the answers.
Did I miss something? I know a lot of people won’t hide info from there doctors, but then a lot of folks won’t tell them things they need to know.
2) Bam-Bam is scared shitless.
The heavy fist of government!
Everyone who has ever taken a prescribed medication for ANY mental health issue will be barred from gun ownership. I am aghast! Anyone got a Valium?
So don’t say that.
It ain’t rocket science...just ‘cause they ask doesn’t mean you have to bare your soul. Situation depending its ‘none of your business” or “no”.
I am sorry they have cynically chosen to make MY Dr. the point of THEIR spear...but I recognize him as an adversary, not a “friend”. ALL of them are.
“unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,”
Some retirement homes don’t have birthday parties so as to not reveal private birthdate.
“14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.”
It ain’t science, you heathen devil, it is lack of GOD.
“17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities. “
How about state laws that might???
“18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers. “
What is a school resource officer??
“19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education. “
Announcing the next gun free zones. How dare you utter ‘house of worship’ from your flapping purple lips?
I am not worked up yet.
Any focus on taking guns from the mentally ill could be problematic.
Doctor: you own a gun?
Citizen: yea
Doctor: you’re nuts. no gun for you
Oh yeah, you're dead meat. Not only you but your whole family gene pool are SOL. Once you get the mark of the O on you, that's all she wrote. You'll be lucky to get a slingshot permit!
Step 1: meet with your lawyer and set up a gun trust (either title 1 or title 2 NFA)
2: put all of your firearms on a schedule A or B within the trust.
3: When doc or any agent of the state ask if you own guns, legally and ethically you can say, "My wife and I do not personally own firearms". ( because the property is a separate trust asset)
:-)
I live in Texas.
So this list REALLY means nothing to me.
You have my sympathies...
Even as fond as he is of ruling by executive orders, he knows that he can't ban any class of guns without congress making it into law, so he's depending on congress to enact a ban that meets his approval. An “assault weapon” bill is sure to be introduced in congress ASAP and will probably pass in the Democrat controlled Senate, but I don't think it will make the grade in the GOP majority house. If it does a lot of GOP congresscritters will be out of a job after the 2014 election, and that would include mine if he votes for ANY new gun law. We are already denied too many (one is one too many) of our 2nd A rights by unconstitutional laws such as LBJ's 1968 Gun Control Act, enough is enough.
The left thinks everything that falls from Obama’s lips is a pearl. They won’t criticize a thing.
“18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers. “
What is a school resource officer??
Maybe they can make Federal Agents “resource officers”?
Then it would be time for the Feds to practice their "corralling and kettling" techniques. They will push the crowd into a confined space and trap them there until the laws of nature take over and everyone needs to find a restroom and some food.
If you really plan to do this you will need some outside support, not part of the crowd. Everyone attending should be prepared to spend 24 hours without outside food/water, in case the Feds do this. Plan to bring plenty of food and water, extra batteries for smartphones, so that you can outlast them. Plan to urinate in street drains as necessary, etc.
Don't bring a gun or even a facsimile of a gun because you'll be targeted first and probably shot on sight.
Harry Reid payed him a visit and ‘splained politics 101 to him.
I love the smell of milquetoast, smoke and mirrors in the morning.
BUT I won’t be so bold as to say that it smells like victory.
We are a long way from that.
“What do you do? What do you tell your doctor?!
It’s none of your f**k’n business.
