January 10, 201313 yr I guess you really DO have to pass it to find out what's in it. LOL!!!! --------- http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/09/Backfire-Obamacare-Forbids-Gun-and-Ammo-Registration 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 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.
January 10, 201313 yr That's pretty damn awesome, but we need to be wary of any actions taken by the government to ram through large bills. They could just as easily add in antigun amendments as they did this one. Still, thank God for little miracles.
January 10, 201313 yr Author Well, if they can ignore an amendment, ignoring a provision in a health bill is no big deal but at least this will keep them up at night.
January 10, 201313 yr Just posted that on the Nutfancy Video... PLEASE GOD LET IT BE TRUE !! Its a small win... But small ones gets bigger !
January 10, 201313 yr Wow...that is some great news...and kinda funny at that. Its nice to read something positive on our end of the fight.
January 10, 201313 yr Is this stating that a Dr can't obtain any information relating to lawful ownership of firearms? Or the government in general? It's rather tricky to decipher....
January 10, 201313 yr Sorry but I dont see this as the beaming ray of sunshine some of you may. Looks to me its just a kind of clause in the administrative process for Obamacare that they cant ask you if you own firearms and using that info against you claiming you're a "hi risk patient" . Kind of like some life insurence policys and pre-existing conditions.
January 10, 201313 yr Yeah it only seems to apply to the secretary of health and human services. I read it the same way.
