WHOOPS! Obamacare Amendment Forbids Gun Registration!

UPDATE: Upon further research, apparently this only precludes any gun registration being a part of Obamacare (see second paragraph below).

Bummer...

Oops - Obamacare Amendment Forbids Gun Registration

Washington DC - -(Ammoland.com)- 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.

(More at the title link...)

In a nutshell, under Obamacare you can’t be required to provide information to doctors or health plans about legally owned guns, nor can your insurance rates be affected by such ownership. The government, in the execution of Obamacare, cannot collect information about or use information from other government databases about legally owned guns.

There’s noting in there that prevents the another agency from implementing gun and/or ammunition registration. If such an agency (BATF, DOJ, FBI, etc.) did implement such a scheme it would be illegal for the government to use such data in the execution of Obamacare’s mandates – that is all…

The Firearms Owner Protection Act (aka machinegun ban of 1986) already does that for every federal agency:

No such rule or regulation prescribed [by the Attorney General] after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established. Nothing in this section expands or restricts the Secretary's authority to inquire into the disposition of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation.

Not that it will mean much to this bunch of communist cock gobbling sons of bitches squatting in the white hut scheming up ways to register and confiscate all firearms. The actual parts of that law which protect firearms owners seem to have no teeth, shitholes like New Dork and New Jerky regularly arrest and jail gunowners while traveling through those states. Klinton kept records of approved NICS checks for years in violation of this law. While they feign ignorance about the protections for citizens, they for some reason never forget about the part that bans MGs. Imagine that...
