How does Obamacare help gun owners....opsy!
SturmRugerSR9:
I received this today and checked an find it to be so, according to the US Senate record:
This amendment passed in the Democrat US Senate by a vote of 60 yea's to 39 no's with one no vote.
Our own Carper voted yea.
**************
....Looks like Obama should have read the "Obamacare" law before he signed it, OR he was so
eager to get "Obamacare" that he didn't care about the "gun owners" clause
that was in it! So, Obama was either brilliant for not
reading the bill OR knew the clause was necessary to get his "Obamacare"
passed, so that his ego could soar!
Wednesday, it was discovered 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 that amendment, the government cannot collect "any information
relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition."
This means that the government CANNOT mandate firearm registration.
No registration, no confiscation. Poor ol' Joe Biden, he spent the last
couple of weeks focusing on making a law requiring registration.
Good thing is though, the amendment also states that not even an executive order can override the amendment.
CNN is now referring to it as "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 personally added the provision in order to keep the NRA from getting involved in the legislative fight over Obamacare, which was so
ubiquitous in 2010. It looks like Harry Reid actually helped out firearm owners without even realizing it. Thanks Harry!!

Does anyone really think this will stop them?

I posted about this a few months ago.. Here is the thread. Basically the government cannot use doctors to collect "any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition."
That being said this could be superseded by any number of large page bills in the future. Nothing to be that excited over unfortunately.

Two groups of people have no intention of following the law. Can you guess who they are?
