Dale -
When Obama-Care goes into effect, HIPAA will go out the window. Obama-Care is going to require ALL medical records be computerized and available to the government for oversight. Does that give you some idea of just how over-reaching and intrusive this administration is trying to make the government?
That is just one of the problems with Universal Background Checks. The Powers-That-Would-Like-To-Be are trying to get as much information about each and every citizen as they can. To what end? Control – plain and simple. If they know you own a gun and they have access to your medical records that say you once had a minor stroke – well, that means you might be a danger to yourself or others – after all, if you have another stroke while holding a gun, who knows what might happen if you drop it or if you have a muscle spasm with your finger on the trigger? So – obviously, you aren’t fit, physically, to still own that gun.
Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but that is the way their minds work – they are looking for excuses to advance their cause – remember their new motto: Never let a good crisis go to waste. They may have been horrified by Sandy Hook, but more than that, it certainly made an impression on the masses and gave them the excuse to bring their gun-grabbing agenda to the forefront – since the Aurora shooting didn’t seem to be enough to get the low-info voters mobilized.
I was never one for conspiracy theories in the past but, the more I read, the more I hear and the more I follow things to their (un)natural conclusions, the more paranoid I am becoming.
Remember – Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t watching and waiting. . . And they seem to be finding more and more ways to watch these days – and the waiting is over. They are going for the jugular, now.

In Iowa they have the HEPA form you sign when your treated by a doctor. That information can only be given out to someone checking your background if you sign a form allowing them to check you. This would include your background check for a license to carry open or concealed.

Jeffrey, first of all, thank you for your service.
The problems are many with this kind of thinking. Yes, we all have to go thru NCIS checks when we buy a gun thru an FFL. No problem. But, I won’t be able to sell (or give?) my grandson my 22 rifle that he loves without having him go thru a background check?
The term ‘background checks’ is a growing term. I’m all in favor of mental folks not getting guns, but this means that all folks who have had any ‘mental disorder’ will have to be reported to the ncis. Ok, fine. But what about veterans who’ve been treated for PTSD? Does this bring it a little closer to home?
Do some research on what is being proposed as ‘background checks’ It’ll blow your mind.

Whats the big deal on background checks?? I had to go through background checks on all my firearm purchases including at the gun show I went to. I bought 2 AR-15 lowers and he called the check system , no big deal to me! As far as private sale background checks why not have certain people who are allowed to do that??? Have a standard set rate of $25 and this person does all the paperwork required etc aleviating the gun salesman who is worried about lost sales because of the increased time having to spend with private gun sales and transfers.
Hell im a disabled veteran and I would do this for people. It would kind of like being a notary

Screw the laws. If they can’t keep up with a few criminals they can’t keep up with over a million in one state. Let the tie up billion or trillions of dollars while the economy goes to hell. If they want to see the country go to hell in a bread basket, so be it.

Just saying they can only charge $25 for a NICS check doesn’t mean they will. A lot of dealers could refuse to perform the checks, and who could really blame them much, taking time away from their own sales etc…
