List of executive actions Obama plans to take

Re: List of executive actions Obama plans to take
On the medical issue, I'd like to state my $0.02 as a person who used to work in the medical environment with mentally ill individuals.
There are some clear cases where a person is diagnosed with major mental illness due to biological illness (Alzheimer or tumors for example), or for psychological reasons. This diagnosis must be supported by appropriate tests by competent professionals, and is often quite obvious and severe. A person who is hearing voices, can't stop talking to their imaginary friend, or exhibits the clear signs of major cognitive disorder covered by clearly definition in the DSM should IMHO be ineligible to own guns. At present, in those cases, they are immediately stopped from driving, operating heavy machinery, etc etc, but their gun rights can not be touched. As a person who has dealt with these folks at a professional level, I support removing their gun rights based on those diagnoses. I have seen patients who are clearly immediate dangers to themselves and others due to mental illness.
However, that is a far far cry from the "average" mental health issues. I feel that is the dangerous part. If they go this route, we must be very cautious and watch them like a hawk to make sure that the "net" is not too broad.

Re: List of executive actions Obama plans to take
I'm not really pointing at you or me with my remarks, but at the average gun owner, who doesn't homeschool and can't so easily escape the system. My kids were homeschooled, and like you, my wife or I were always in the room. In fact, she took the kids to a dentist once who said parents couldn't be in the room, and she turned around, walked out, and found another dentist. No grand kids yet, but I'm pretty sure one of our sons is going to homeschool.mamabearCali wrote:As long as I am paying for the medical bills and they are under 18 either I or my husband will be in the room.VMI77 wrote:

Then how about grandchildren......I guarantee they'll be asking if grandpa has guns in the home. Nieces, newphews? What about Auntie Mamabear, does she have guns? And in this kind of a rat fink society being created here, your anti-gun neighbor will be asking their pediatrician what can be done about those nutty gun owners next door who let their children use guns....you know, they're afraid of what those evil little right-wingers might do, or that one of those guns next door might get loose. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Pelosibama, tell me the name and address of those obviously dangerous neighbors and I'll make sure it gets in their records.
My kids do not go to public indoctrination centers. I am responsible for their education.
As for grand kids.....well...my eldest is 7 we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Yes this is turning into a rat fink society, but we are not there yet.

Someone on another forum pointed out something I missed.....the key here is "information" and its use and exchange at all levels of government and throughout the medical system. You have a CHL? Then you can't lie to the doctor, because if you do, it will be caught in a cross-check, and you'll be prosecuted for perjury, and they'll take your guns. Of course, this isn't going to happen instantly, but that's the objective. Obamacare was the foot in the door. It's really a pretty smart plan to use it as the vehicle for creating the kind of all encompassing data base they want. Any man on here with kids, whose wife doesn't understand the ramifications of a doctor's questions about guns (or is an anti), is hosed.

Re: List of executive actions Obama plans to take
I don't have a problem with being "able" to do it this way. In fact, if I was selling to someone I didn't know, I might want to do it this way, not only so that I didn't sell a gun to a criminal or psycho, but for my own protection as well. However, making it a legal requirement would be a joke, since anyone with criminal intent isn't going to follow the law anyway.Mike1951 wrote:Just received the letter from BATFE regarding transfers between individuals.

Remember the guns used in the Oregon shootings were stolen. Obama's new EO won't stop that

when did I "swear" to tell the truth to the doctor under penalty of perjury? he/she isn't an agent of the court. until they change the paperwork I and my kids can and will say "no" if and when asked if there are guns in the home.

Re: List of executive actions Obama plans to take
Unless they make it part of the CHL law that I have to disclose this to my doctor, they have nothing to stand on to take my gun or charge with perjury.

Re: List of executive actions Obama plans to take
My father-in-law had a stroke last year and is recovering well. The docs started asking him this year if he's depressed...like a dozen times in one visit. If I was 56 and had a stroke, I'd be depressed... He said, "No, feeling great" every time.
Be careful what you and members of your family disclose to doctors. This is some muddy water. Innocent, reasonable and normal things like having difficulty adjusting to normal life after returning from combat may be used to prevent you from possessing a firearm in the future.
Apparently being sad or occasionally distraught or bummed out that our country is being FUBARed by a Marxist may qualify us for a "list".
