Obamacare is a just a great big DATABASE wherein everything about you, including your grades and test scores, medical history, citizenship status, marital status, etc etc. is all consolidated in ONE PLACE.

Remember that VA bureaucrats, not doctors, have been deciding that thousands of veterans should be denied guns, for reasons as nonsensical as that they shifted their power of attorney to a relative for a short time.

“As of July 2012, an estimated 129,000 veterans had been entered into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System by the VA.

“According to officials with the Department of Veterans Affairs, if a veteran is appointed a fiduciary, someone to handle their VA benefits, because he is deemed incapable of handling his own finances, he is defined by the department as “mentally defective” and banned from owning a firearm.”

Is being fed up with lies and BS from elected officials and tyranny from non elected bureaucrats a mental disorder?

But of course. Remember the old Soviet Union; their definition of mental illness was basically anyone who did not believe in the government.

“......... which will strengthen our ability to keep dangerous weapons out of the wrong hands,” Holder said. ....

Guess he forgot (conveniently and once again) about “Fast and Furious” and how that turned out.

Next step is to get doctors to report anyone acting even slightly depressed.

In the comment section:

Making it harder to purchase firearms for those who were either involuntarily committed or were legally determined to be mentally defective is a as close to a slam-dunk sensible rule change as exists on this issue.

This is insane. Obama usurps Legislative Branch, bypassing the unpleasant 'sausage making' process, gives himself and his admin power to define "involuntarily committed" or "mentally defective" is nothing to be cheering about. Just like NSA collecting metadata on everybody is not 'sensible'.

An executive order can be overturned by the next president or 2/3 vote in both houses,or a new bill to counteract the original.

Can you see 1/3 of Harry Reid’s Rats voting to overturn any Obastard EO? I don’t. And that assumes 100% of the GOPe votes to overturn an Obastard EO: I know of at least four who never would, no matter how egregious (Collins, McQueeg, Graham and Flake) out of “respect for the office of the President.

Will they leave office in three years...?

If Hillary steals the next "election", she'll make sure he goes. They both have the same goal of destroying this country anyway. If by some miracle the election is not stolen and someone like a conservative actually won, you KNOW Barry won 't leave.

I thought that problem was solved in 1968.

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day”.

- Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 GCA into law.

A DOJ that distributes weapons to drug lords but questions the mental state of Americans is bat-sh@t, out of his racist mind crazy.

You would have to be crazy to have voted for this idiot, ergo Obama voters should not be allowed to own guns. Just think of the drop in murder rate if this was enacted.

Correct. Just like all the Clinton EOs Bush tossed out on day one. And all the Carter EOs Reagan tossed.

Oh wait....

The only serious tossing out of EOs we have seen recently was Bush the Elder tossing Reagan’s.

The Terry and Zapata families wish that guns were taken out of the hands of Holder and the ATF before being shipped to drug cartels in Mexico.

"...while respecting the Constitutional rights to which all Americans are entitled,” Holder added.

Consider what Constitutional Rights Holder and his ilk think Americans are "entitled" to, and you get the picture.

D@mn, but these Democrats parse words...if you aren't listening critically, you aren't hearing what they are saying.

My mother warned me that eventually there would be one big permanent record of everything we had done from childhood on. (She did it to get me to behave myself as a child).

That was over 50 years ago.

Hat tip to Mom, she was right again...

I can break it down to the easiest possible understanding...

“You believe in limited government, Constitutional rule, and freedom of religion, speech, and assembly?”

“Yes, I do.”

“YOU’RE NUTS!!! NO GUNS FOR YOU!!!!”
