It seems that one Easter Egg hidden in Obamacare may protect us from legislation that is currently underway, and even Executive Orders...
CNN reports that Harry Reid slipped a mickey into the Patient Affordable Care Act to keep the NRA on the sidelines.
Senate amendment 3276, Sec 2716, part c “Protection of Second Amendment Rights” Government cannot collect: “…any information relating to…(A) The lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition”
Harry Reid, of all people, may be the guy that stopped illegal unconstitutional registrations. How ironic.

Check out the way this is crafted before you get too happy about this. It might also be a way to discourage repeal of ObamaCare. It has that one word that glares out at me. LAWFUL firearm. That means they make semiautos illegal and boom that takes the gloves off of this provision.

In my business I pour over contracts all the time and dang lawyers can really make stuff real jiggly in language. You got to read every work like 100 times. That is why when they stuff bills under the congress critter's nose 3 minutes before the vote I am like that is soooo wrong. Against the rules in congress as there is supposed to be a 2 day examination period. That is why they love emergencies and we must act now for the children. Give me a break.

So, if I'm reading this right, Doctors / Healthcare Providers / Insurance Companies are the only ones that can't ask for gun / ammo registration?
Seems like there could be a broader interpretation, I mean this is government-ran healthcare, right?
Any lawyers out there that can clarify this?edit on 9-1-2013 by Signals because: (no reason given)
