"4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks."

Paraphrased, "Eric Holder will now review what labels we may best apply to large groups of people, in order to deny constitutional rights of those whom we fear most."

Or maybe I'm just too damned cynical.

Could have been worse <dontknow>

poop bro, that was stuffing the bags of powder into the breech of the 16" gun, nothing more.  Just wait...

Non-stop reading of letters from children, constant media barrage (local and national), hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer.

Today they were playing an audio clip of a local politidouche...some new term for standard-capacity magazines, like "over capacity" or "extra capacity".  Don't remember exactly.  Total buzz phrase we will be hearing LOTS more.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

Now just what the hell is that supposed to mean? Why would a doctor wanna know if there are guns in my house? All of this, is just more senseless bullpoopy. Puts me more into my "defensive crouch"......waiting for the endrun.

Harry Reid stuffed a piece into Obamacare that specifically limits docs and health from asking ANYTHING about firearms.  It was something that nobody had time to read, before Pelosi shoved that wreck off the cliff...

Looks like The King just circumvented that.

Tough call, and question - If I understand all this right, the way it's supposed to work, Obamacare was legislative, but could be affected by The King's Executive Orders, if it hadn't been enacted yet.  Example, Obamacare doesn't go into effect until 2014.

I think what will fcuk The King right in his ass is - starting January 1st, we're paying taxes for Obamacare.  It's "enacted" already, thus can't be changed by Executive Order.

We'll see who wins the "definition war" on this one...

My routine doc, I'd be polite with.  He'd be informed that, whether I own firearms or not, that's a question I think he has no business asking.  My kid even knows this, at 16, when I showed him all the stuff that was passed signed into the recordbooks.

ER staff, ambulance EMTs, anything I wind up in the hospital for - they can choke on a dick if they ask that question.  <thumbsup>
