How about this fun fact: all veterans who have served in an active war zone are allowed a certain percentage on their VA claims automatically due to PTSD.

So guess who has PTSD on their VA records? Me.

Guess who clearly doesn't give a fuck about people he killed in combat halfway around the world, and does not lose a wink of sleep over it, meaning he has no symptoms of PTSD? Me.

You gonna register EVERY combat veteran as having a mental condition and bar them from legally obtaining a firearm? Fuck off.

That's the beauty of what Barry just did via executive order. He doesn't need you to register since his agencies can now get at that information anyway.

Up until last week, your medical information would have been protected by a law called HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act). Barry just waived portions of it via executive order so federal agencies can use it as part of the enhanced background checks.

So yes, someone could claim they're about to sell you a gun and your PTSD would most likely show-up on the background check in one form or another.

Oh, and how will they get those health records electronically?

Obamacare specifically calls for subsidies for electronic medical record implementation and financial penalties for institutions that don't implement them.

It also calls for these records to be submitted to the department of health and human services for analysis.

So all the pieces are in place. He's managed to use executive orders to interconnect existing laws that basically make anyone's mental health information available.

Good times.

If that bars me from buying a firearm I'll give them reason to claim I have PTSD for real.

wtf is going on in here

Ok i'll admit that plunkey brings up a fairpoint with the HIPAA waiver, that doesn't pass the smell test if any potential private seller has access to those records. I was under the impression though you would have to pass the sale by a govt agency and they would do the check and tell you whether it was cool or not. And I agree every returning vet has PTSD but if one of em was evaluated by the military as having severe PTSD where he's not sure from one day to the next whether he's still in a war zone or not after he's been literally discharged....how do we want a guy like that buying guns? Didn't one of those guys walk down a couple cops a couple years ago with an assault rifle?

PTSD doesn't have 'levels of severity'

I allegedly have it just as bad as some of these assholes shooting at people in their neighborhoods.
