Good news — it has become known 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 reports, that amendment says the government cannot use doctors to collect “any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition.”
CNN is calling it “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 added the provision in order to keep the NRA from getting involved in the legislative fight over Obamacare, which was so ubiquitous in 2010.
I’m not sure what to make of this. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? And I don’t trust Harry Reid WHATSOEVER!!! That old senile bag of bones is not FOR WE THE PEOPLE by any means.
it’s worthless and a distraction.
and if true that it was for the NRA then the NRA got screwed.
it says (no link to a copy!) that doctors cant collect data for the gov on ownership.
well your not legally required to tell them if they ask.
i mean, it’s not related to any medical condition is it!
this does not block any type of ban or local/federal registration orders etc.
so all it does is stop doctors asking a question you would refuse to answer (or lie to them)
