One of the most integral rights one has as a patient in a doctor’s care is their right to privacy. This important right ensures that your health conditions, particularly sensitive ones such as mental illness, is no one business but your own and those who are involved with treatment.
Well, today Obama destroyed that right with his far-reaching executive action regarding gun sales in the United States.
How did patient privacy end up being entangled with gun ownership? Evidentially, the new policies set forth by the president will allow doctors to turn in their patients medical records so that they can impede on that person’s second amendment right to own a gun.
If that sounds illegal to you, you may be right. HIPPA explicitly protects a patient from involuntary disclosure of medical records, but a broad exclusion for purposes of law enforcement opened up the door for Obama’s administration to exploit.

And now will be when ppl start lying about their mental state and not getting the treatment they need.
Obama says, Obama means:
1:EXPANDED BACKGROUND CHECKS, sounds like a good idea right? Expanded into your employment history, your medical records, your credit score (yikes) and your flight status. Of course none of these things involve due process. A felon can’t buy a gun. A felon has had due process. That’s part of how he became a felon. Abrogation of a right without due process is unconstitutional.
2. TO APPLY TO ALL SELLERS. The White House says there’s no threshold number of sales that will trigger the licensure requirement. Buy your son a gun and don’t conduct a full background check with all the government paperwork? You go to prison for up to 10 years, 250,000 fine.
3. MORE BUREAUCRACY. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has written to states emphasizing the need to submit complete criminal history records so that the background check system has as much information at its disposal as possible. This is the same attorney general trying to criminalize speech against Islam.
4. LOST AND STOLEN WEAPONS. Criminal liability, like in California, if your weapon is stolen.
5. SMART GUN TECHNOLOGY. So I don’t have to aim? No. Trackable chipped fingerprint recognizing guns. Remember the 14 tries to get your cell phone to unlock before you gave up on the print scan? Now, imagine trying that when a burglar is shooting at you. Furthermore, this will lead to the eventual outlawing of all functional “dumb guns”. See our imported gun laws to understand what happens when the government requires firearms be made non functional. Hint, it involves a torch.
6. MENTAL HEALTH. Sounds great. No crazy people with guns. Yaaaay. Wait, a bureaucrat gets to dig into my medical records to determine if I’m fit to exercise my second amendment rights? Where’s the due process? We already prohibit gun sakes to those adjudged “crazy”. Why is that OK? They had DUE PROCESS. Thanks for reading. SHARE IF YOU CARE.
Control the doctors: do not spend your money or time on them. Now who’s going to run the show? You. sarah
So let’s see how this works against Clinton’s HIPPA. lol This aught to be good. One federal law unlawfully done by one federal law passed by Congress and Hillary’s nightmare.
Kenya wants their village idiot back…
Once again-attacking our healthcare!
So an executive order can make a doctor violate their hippa oath?
I believe Obamacare already does this.
Doctor’s might consider this. If they turn in someone who takes umbrage at their actions, the good doctor could find himself providing food for fish or fertilizer for weeds.
