Help from Obama Care

[Don P]

The following link will provide info that is part of Obama Care and prevents the federal government from having a gun/ammo registry.
I wonder if Sheriff Joe Biden and the the rest of his posse are aware?

The amendment is 3276 Section 2716 Part C

I love it! But, as we all know, using there own words (or amendments) against them simply isn't fair.
Making sense and following the law is just not being progressive.

That is one of the funniest things I have seen. I don't know how it will play out, but it should be interesting.

Wow - this went virul in the last hour since I saw it on Facebook.

The rumor is false.

The link explains what the actual text is and what it covers.

An hour ago it only took a few seconds to find a link to dispell the rumor.
Can't do that now...
FWIW here's the actual text:

Hal's reading is correct. Care providers cannot force disclosure of information. That's it.

Furthermore, if we can't even call a bill by its correct name, we're not really discussing it intelligently.
