WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 9, 2013 - A hidden amendment in Obamacare prevents a national gun and ammunition registry.
It was put into the bill by Senator Harry Reid (Nev.) in order to keep the National Rifle Association out of the Obamacare fight.
The Nevada senator, after all, is a fan of guns and firearms, believing them to be as American as baseball or football.
It seems that in their haste to cram socialized medicine down the throats of the Amerikan people, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Kal.) and Barack Obama overlooked Senate Amendment 3276, Sec. 2716, part c.
That amendment says the government cannot collect “any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition.”
CNN is calling it “a gift to the nation’s powerful gun lobby”.
Even liberal media giant CNN has recognized the provision in the otherwise monstrous law; and now that the Republican Party has control of the House, there is no good reason for any of Feinstein’s gun laws to sail through Congress.
Not that any Democrat-run government will actually respect the law.
The Joe Biden gun-grabber task force has already indicated that Obama is going to have to straighten this out, even though the Constitution forbids it. That would be “the Law of the Land” that decides if what the Congress or the Executive does is valid or not.
The Senate vote on the Feinstein gun ban package is preliminarily scheduled for as early as January 22, the exact same day as newly returned Hillary Clinton is slated to testify on Benghazi.
