In God We Trust ! God Bless America !




This is good information for anyone with a gun in the house. It's a matter of time before we will be dealing with the Government's fear of our gun ownership.



Do you have a gun in the house? GOOD TO KNOW!



When I had my gangrene gallbladder taken out and spent 10 days in the hospital for what should have been an overnight stay the insurance company kicked me out. I had home nurse visits for two weeks and was asked if I had guns in the house. I respond that if I did I would not tell them. So the below has some merit.



FYI, I am passing this along... There are comments from two other people I have also been asked if we keep guns in the house. The nurse just kinda slipped it in along with all the other regular questions. I told her I refused to answer because it was against the law to ask.



Everyone, whether you have guns or not, should give a neutral answer so they have no idea who does and who doesn't. My doctor asked me if I had guns in my house and also if any were loaded. I, of course, answered yes to both questions Then he asked why I kept a loaded gun close to my bed. I answered that my son, who is a certified gun instructor and also works for Homeland Security, advised me that an unloaded, locked up gun is no protection against criminal attack.



The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare, and probably everyone else.



Just passing this along for your information: I had to visit a doctor other than my regular doctor when my doctor was on vacation.. One of the questions on the form I had to fill out was: Do you have any guns in your house?? My answer was None of your damn business!!



So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government intervention. Either way, it is out there and the second the government gets into your medical records (as they want to under Obamacare) it will become a major issue and will ultimately result in lock and load!!



Please pass this on to all the other retired guys and gun owners... Thanks, from a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: I had a doctor's appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions: 1. Did I feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?



The nurse then informed me that if I had answered yes to any of the questions I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security.



Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware. The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner, veteran or not, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED !



If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them Be very cautious about what you say and to whom.



They are coming for us, so unless you're an ostrich, do not stick your head in the sand.........

This time Obama/Holder will be bringing the fight to the American Firearms Owners Community with all the arbitrary executive power of the Oval Office as his Hammer of Thor.
Politically he has nothing to lose cause he'll never have to account to The People at the election polls again.
Expect some anti-gun appointments to SCOTUS and a surrender of American Sovereignty by unconditionally signing on to the the UN ATT (small arms limitation treaty).
US firearms policy will be dictated thereafter from the International UN office in New York City.
The fun has just started. +blah

Urban legend from 2011. It's been around the world twice since I first received it about 16 months ago.

Looks like it came true with the laws Obama just put out.

Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.


Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

Urban legend indeed.
That was before Newtown.
Unfortunately life doesn't have filters like emailing software to block out reality.
The choice spectrum at this point is rather narrow..........either stand up and be counted or turn them in.

Maybe three years ago, when taking one of our kids to the pediatrician for a regular checkup, the nurse sat down with a clipboard and started asking me questions. The usual- Kids' eating habits, daily activity, notice any vision or hearing difficulty, etc.

Then she said: "Have any guns in the house?"
I hesitated (which probably answered the question) then said: "Do you?".
She paused, smiled, and said "Yeah, I know.".

So I don't know whether the question was there because of the doctor, the gov't, the hospital they are associated with, or the building they rent, but it was there then.

Totally unacceptable question entirely unrelated to the kids health care. :evil:
Liberals think they have a divine mandate to interfere with and manage other peoples lives and society-at-large.......classic example Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York........this man like Feinstein just exudes the quintessential liberal socialist smugness, arrogance & entitlement.
In their exalted opinions the rest of us peons are hopeless, dull minded, inherently violent neanderthals who need the liberal activists to rescue them from life's pitfalls.

Maybe those questions get asked when someone in the house is suicidal or battering a family member. Not just for the fun of it.
