Wow. A lot of mental health checks and release of health documents listed here in order to get a gun. Could it be that he wants everyone who has seen a doctor of some sort, to be declared unfit for a gun, even if the person just goes in for a yearly check-up?
No ban on mags or assault rifles, yet. This seems to be aimed at getting doctors to release those “confidentiality agreements” that doctors are never supposed to reveal to anyone (even to the government), in order to take away our guns or our eligibility for one. So much for privacy laws. Is there anything private anymore that I can do without the government knowing? IT’S NONE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S F**KING BUSINESS WHAT I DO AND WHERE I DO IT!!! LAY THE F**K OFF ME, OBAMA!!!
Any website that goes against the prevailing status quo of “do as you are told” will be considered mentally unhealthy and monitored closely, as well as those who visit the sites and post any form of harsh “anti-establishment” language. Such information will be logged and used in court.
Ever been arrested for consumption of alcohol or drugs? Ever had a prescription for pain killers? Troubles directly or indirectly with domestic violence? Ever express anger towards anyone at work?
Incremental Persuasion
“When persuading, do so one small step at a time.
Get them to agree to a small point. Then get agreement on a further smaller point. Then another and another until you have got them to your final destination. Make each small point very easy to accept and as logical as possible so they cannot really object to it.”
FUO
Well, now for sure I’m not telling my doctor about the voices I’ve been hearing.
LOL……That was a good one. 🙂
I thought that I was the only one that heard voices. LOL
Fess up Digger,
I know you have a blast with the voices in your head!
I know I do!
Im sure there are people out there who feel relieved but you need to remember that Obama and his croud dont tell it like it is. They use safe and happy words to deflate your concerns and that is exactly what this was intended to do. Expect more false flags, and remember that they’re not gonna come knocking on your front door as they will more likely kick in your back door while you’re sleeping. Keep an eye on congress and dont give them an inch. They’re trying to blow off everybodys’ steam and when you aren’t looking they’ll sneak an exec order with a harmless name and the back page is where it will be. REMAIN VIGILANT AND REFUSE TO ACCEPT WHAT OBAMA PROPOSED TODAY AND WHAT HE’LL PROPOSE TOMORROW.
Infringment is infringment. I don’t care how you sugar coat it. The doctors get paid good money to put everyone on these drugs and once on them you can’t own a firearm. If you refuse them you will still be denied your right to own a firearm because the doctor said you needed it. Simply do not consent to any personal questions about anything other than what you are there for. They are paying doctors to forget their oath of patient privacy which is no different than what they’ve been doing for years.
I prefer the sane approach.
I don’t talk to doctors for ANY reason.
Same goes for cops.
