New Gun Orders Will Deter People From Seeking Healthcare

Activists are speaking out in opposition to the actions of the White House, today.
  Mental health activists are warning:   "This new Executive Order is the biggest deterrent to getting help from counselors, therapists, doctors, and other healthcare professionals."

•   Veterans will lose their 2nd Amendment constitutional rights and not even know that they were "diagnosed".
•   This will prevent couples from getting good marriage counseling.
•   This will make people hesitant to see a new doctor, lest they be reported by "Gun Nazies" .
•   This will result in more tragedies because hurting people risk losing self defense rights and face the rest of their lives as unarmed and they face prison time if they go hunting.

"This new Executive Order is the biggest deterrent to getting help from counselors, therapists, doctors, and other healthcare professionals."

  Delivering on its promise to deliver "common sense" gun control, the Obama administration on Monday finalized a rule that enables health care providers to report the names of mentally ill patients to an FBI firearms background check system. 

  The action was one of a series of steps that President Barack Obama had called for in January 2013 in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings to curb gun violence, but the rule was not published until today. 

  While the 1993 Brady law prohibits gun ownership by individuals who have been involuntarily committed, found incompetent to stand trial or otherwise deemed by a court to be a danger to themselves or others, federal health care privacy rules prohibited doctors and other providers from sharing information without the consent of their patients. 

  Under the rule, which takes effect next month, for the first time health providers can disclose the information to the background check system without legal repercussions.

  “The disclosure is restricted to limited demographic and certain other information needed for NICS purposes,” the rule states. Disclosure of diagnostic or clinical information is prohibited.

  Rush Limbaugh reports, today; that a similar  policy is already in effect in California. That state law now allows family members to report "unstable" relatives to the state so that the cops can come by and pick up all firearms prior to even having one's "day in court" to rebut the claims.
  Limbaugh cites scenarios where liberal kids report their dad because he just joined the NRA or cut off the kid's allowance.
