Of course I feel dirty for going to that site, however, upon reading the proposals, I would say most folks - wouldn´t have an issue with at least a half-dozen of them (prosecute those who try to purchase a gun illegally, add a 2nd serial number in a hard to access area of the gun (similar to hidden VIN numbers), background checks for gun store employees, database of the mentally ill for inclusion on Insta-check, investigate thefts of 5 or more guns, DoJ taskforce to combat gun trafficking (IRONIC - considering Fast & Furious!)).

The question is, why has BHO not done these things already?

And when THESE don´t work...? The point is getting the camel´s nose under the tent.

When I read articles on ANY AND ALL issueS that appears to have an agenda. I try to look at the background of the writer. Also his or her connection to a group or magazine. In this case Mother Jones Mag. Which I seem to recall some of their connection past or present might have been Communist or at leasT Socialist.

Following is a encyclopedia description of Mother Jones Mag.

The magazine was named after Mary Harris Jones, called Mother Jones, an Irish-American trade union activist, opponent of child labor, and self-described "hellraiser". She was a part of the Knights of Labor,[8] the Industrial Workers of the World,[8] the Social Democratic Party,[8] the Socialist Party of America,[8] the United Mine Workers of America,[8] and the Western Federation of Miners.[8]

The stated mission of Mother Jones is to produce revelatory journalism that in its power and reach informs and inspires a more just and democratic world.[9]

Mother Jones is published by the Foundation for National Progress, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Mother Jones and the FNP are based in San Francisco, with other offices in Washington, D.C., and New York.

Why don´t they print an article titlled 1001 Way for Obama to push more failed policies, when is this guy going to start leading?

Wow, that´s some lede.

If there were any honesty at all at Mother Jones, it would read thus:

"By Thursday afternoon, it was clear that the NRA´s charms weren´t going to be enough to persuade Vice pResident Biden to get on board with respecting the 2nd Amendment."

I have a real problem with a database of the "mentally ill". Ever read the HIPPA declaration you get at the Dr´s office? Why not a national database, accessable to the government of all your mnedical records. What would constitute "mentally ill" sufficient to deny gun rights? Rampaging youretts syndrome? A severe dislike of high places, or irrational fear of spiders? IS someone who has been caught railing against the government in seemingly deranged fashion too dangerous to trust with firearms?

A criminal database I can understand, being convicted of a felony means you lose your rights to a firearm. But thats after a Judge and Jury say so. What if you enter an ER babbling incoherently hearing voices. Initial diagnosis is gonna be your off your rocker but months later they find out you had a complication due to a drug interaction. Are you ever going to get your name off that list?

WHo decides who goes on the list? The Dr? Are we going to turn even more law enforcement and social work responsibility to the MD´s? Would it require a hearing in front of a judge to get you on the list. I hope that at least that siple measure would be taken.

None of that would have stopped even one of the bad guys. A list is not the answer, it cannot be because one of the favoprite tools of tyrants is labeling enemies as mentally incompetant and locking them away. Too many envision the "mentally ill" list to be developed on tips from neighbors, observations of strangers and prying into private medical files "just in case".

No thanks.

All such trial balloons ignore the very simply written phrase: "... shall not be infringed."
And that means period. No caveats.

Re #6: A national database of medical records is coming. It is mandated by the health control law (a.k.a Obamacare). All providers must implement Electronic Medical Records systems by 2014 or face penalties. And the systems must support standard interfaces so that data mining can be performed on them, supposedly for fraud audits but along with being a huge invasion of privacy its really a way to control who gets what health care. The data will used to by bureacrats to determine what types a care are appropriate (in other words they will be used my the death panels) and I have no doubt whatever that "studies" of the data will show that preferred victim groups such as blacks and gays are being underserved and providers will be sued and have to practice affirmative action medicine, and that just scratches the surface of the horrors hidden in the depths of health control law.

14 ways, is that so? Well I got one that over rules your 14. He ain´t got no authority over
our guns in any way shape or form. If your state legislatures and in particular your county Sheriff, goes along with any gun grab, them they side with tyranny and deserve to be treated as domestic enemies.
