1 hour until the Government Saves us

Last time I checked medical records "were" private? How the fuck will this help with anything?

"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."

Oh wait they aren't anymore..
 


I swear, I had a nightmare about this last night, then saw this thread. I didn't even know the Obama was doing some speech today. So far everything seems reasonable except for #14.

14. "Issue a presidential memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence."

The fuck? Those idiots still won't admit what causes cancer today cause they are all in the lobby money, now you're going to give the gun lobbies a reason to start courting the CDC. Honestly, this whole system is a fucking joke.

Now that lukep pointed it out #13, was a little TOO SHORT. that's pretty open ended.

I do like how they are talking about mental illness, but they aren't going near the pill's from the big drug companies....

I have no problem with enforcing existing laws. These EO's are going to discourage people from getting proper medical care. They will fear being put on a list, which will prohibit beign able to purchase a firearm. Clear violations of HIPPA privacy.

The CDC has demonized firearms for over 20 years. You will start to see anti gun propaganda on the door at the doctors office. These "studies" will be used to scare children and make them fear firearms, make firearms dirty.

My biggest problem with these EO's will be the further categorization of people the .gov does not find as acceptable gun owners. The criteria may start off broad. But as time & technology goes by that list will get larger and larger.

This does very little to get the guns out of criminals hands. It does nothing about Big Pharma drugging our population and creating a nation of zombies.

I could go on and on but I have letters to write to my congressmen.

Considering the background check is opt-in (you only will receive one if you want to purchase a gun) it's not a violation of HIPPA. If they were just sharing the medical data for all citizens whether they choose to have a background check or not then your point would be valid, but we all have a choice whether we want to buy a gun or not, and if you choose to purchase a gun, you must then receive the background check which will now be more comprehensive because of these proposed changes.

What he should be doing is emphasizing that the "murda" rate is almost half that of '93 via guns, and suicide has been increasing since '99. Wouldn't get him brownie points, though.

I've been diagnosed with ADD. Will this mental health bullshit keep me from buying another gun?

The beauty of adding "loosely worded" mental health qualifications, is people will be to ashamed to publicly complain about it.
 
I think most of us can agree on one thing. We are tired of being ruled by some of the worst representations of human species. We are tired of being ruled by ppl devoid of wisdom, love, compassion and just a plain common sense. We need our rulers to be inspirational beings. Someone who can lead us by their example.


OFF TOPIC REPLY TO BELOVED DARRIN!
Are you in some sort of insanity competition with hellblazer that you haven't told us about?
No, I am just an attention whore, trying to get you to reply to my posts!

In all seriousness, a lot of the times the stuff I post, I just want to make a contrast between the regular shit you guys post and the opposite view that is equally as true. A lot of the people are really stuck in only seeing world from one point of view and fail to realize that there are thousands (maybe infinite) of views that can be equally as true.

Ultimately, no word can be true. All of these blah blah blah is based on assumptions. And when you start deconstructing assumptions what happens? What do you know for sure? What can you know for sure? You only have indirect perception of this world thru the sense organs, which send signals to your brain and you get some mental picture. Then you have a mind conditioned by your traumatic childhood, interpreting the mental picture. But how can we even know that it is real? You could be dreaming. The only thing that makes it seem it real is our memory. We remember the way things are and there is a continuity in all of our memories. Every time we wake up, we wake to the same reality we remember.

This is why all these discussions about guns, rights, politics, whatever they are only true on some level. I can agree with you too. Who cares if they take away guns or track our every move. Every Google search you make, etc. Let them. I don't give a shit. And I can respect that.

But in the same time, some ppl do not agree with that and their point of view is just as legit. Their opinion is just as correct as yours.

If consciousness level is high enough for all human beings, sure I agree we don't need guns. If consciousness level high enough, sure I agree with you, we can thrive in a socialist/communist society. Then humans would have no greed and ppl go beyond being animals and their survival instincts, they can work together for a common good of everyone. (I am just being sarcastic here, I am not claiming you are a communist or anything!)

But see, being an atheist, I assume you do not believe in consciousness or anything like that. (again maybe you do?)

In your view, I am an insane conspiracy theorist. In mine, I am have a clear mind and a lot of common sense. Again whose position is true? Maybe both? Maybe, mine is biased and I am an insane conspiracy! Ahh shit I need to go to a doctor to get checked out. =)))
