Toomey-Manchin Allows Doctors to Block Your Right to Guns

The proposal will allow a doctor to add a patient to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) without ever telling the patient he or she has been added.

There would be no due process requirement. Not all doctors will be able to do it with the same ease, but many will. Knowing a doctor could add him to a federal database as mentally ill without his knowledge could potentially dissuade a patient from going to the doctor in the first place to get help.

Worse, if the doctor does so and makes a mistake, the patient would have to actively work through the system to get himself removed — guilty before being proven innocent. In some states, should a doctor flag you as having mental illness without your knowledge, you may very well see the state come collect your previously purchased guns.

There is an absolutely disturbing and disgusting amount of unconstitutional legislation and regulation coming through the pipeline. Leaders on both sides have absolutely run amok and gone insane with power. The time for strong demonstrations of our disgust is growing nigh.

With Obamacare on the horizon, doctors couldn't even opt out of this process. I predict a lot of people will stop going to the doctor entirely. Obamacare will save money after all!
