Historically, one of the first steps in gun confiscation is the registration of all privately-owned firearms<\/a>. That step makes it very simple for authorities to quickly go to the homes where firearms are owned and take them away. Gun registration in America has not met with a lot of success, so those who would like to ignore the Second Amendment<\/a> are looking for alternative ways to determine which households own guns.<\/p>\n

ObamaCare included a section<\/a> that stated:<\/p>\n

(2) Limitation on data collection<\/strong><\/h4>\n

None of the authorities provided to the Secretary under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act<\/a> or an amendment made by that Act shall be construed to authorize or may be used for the collection of any information relating to-<\/strong><\/p>\n

(A) the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition;<\/strong><\/p>\n

(B) the lawful use of a firearm or ammunition; or<\/strong><\/p>\n

(C) the lawful storage of a firearm or ammunition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On November 4, 2015, U. S. House of Representatives<\/a> Representative Michael M. Honda, a Democrat from California, introduced H.R. 3926 To amend the Public Service Act to provide for better understanding of the epidemic of gun violence, and for other purposes.<\/p>\n

The bill includes the following section:<\/p>\n

SEC. 4.<\/span> Protecting confidential doctor-patient relationship<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Section 2717(c) of the Public Health Service Act<\/a> (42 U.S.C. 300gg\u201317(c)<\/a>) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201c(6) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION<\/span>.\u2014Notwithstanding the previous provisions of this subsection, none of the authorities provided to the Secretary under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, an amendment made by that Act, or this subsection shall be construed to prohibit a physician or other health care provider from\u2014<\/p>\n

\u201c(A) asking a patient about the ownership, possession, use, or storage of a firearm or ammunition in the home of such patient;<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c(B) speaking to a patient about gun safety; or<\/p>\n

\u201c(C) reporting to the authorities a patient\u2019s threat of violence.\u201d.<\/p>\n

As of the writing of this article, the bill has 36 co-sponsors–all Democrats.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a website called guns.com<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

Federal research of gun violence as a health care issue had been largely defunded for 17 years until President Obama\u2019s<\/a> January 2013 executive order partially restored it. This order lead to the National Institutes of Health<\/a> publicly requesting research projects on the topic for funding consideration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CDC peeked into gun violence as part of a White House<\/a> by executive order following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary<\/a> in Newtown, Connecticut<\/a>, but its results were surprising to gun control advocates. The final study<\/a> found that defensive gun use was common, while mass shootings were not. It was also discovered that when guns are used in self-defense the victims consistently have lower injury rates than those who are unarmed, even compared with those who used other forms of self-defense.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking guns away from innocent people does not make anyone safer. It amazes me that this seemingly rather obvious concept seems to be beyond the reach of many of our leaders.<\/p>\n
