Details emerge on gun control proposal coming Wednesday

Don't forget the 1.5 million sanctimonious Christians that wrote Jesus in on their ballots, on top of using the lords name in vain they got their false messiah elected. Heaven forbid a Mormon getting the job.

Seriously? 1.5 million voters wrote in Jesus' name on their ballots? Regardless of their political leanings, that is in and of itself pretty scary.


You're right about this-it is literally taking the Lord's name in vain. Not in the usual sense of the term, as a cussword, but invoking it for no real cause.

It is true, I had a link for it right after the vote count was completed, I was floored by it and could find no justification, Jesus did not advocate shirking your civic duty and I'm sure he would have included voting with that, he clearly stated he was not here to declare a kingdom on earth and was not to be their king.

I can't find my after election link but the story was out in the form of a pledge prior to the election and they did follow through.
Their are several links to stories concerning the thread including Wiki

Obama Asks Doctors to Help Deal With Guns
11:56 AM, Jan 16, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER


According to a background briefer provided by the White House, President Barack Obama is asking doctors to help deal with guns. Here's the relevant passage:

PRESERVE THE RIGHTS OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO PROTECT THEIR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES FROM GUN VIOLENCE: We should never ask doctors and other health care providers to turn a blind eye to the risks posed by guns in the wrong hands.

 Clarify that no federal law prevents health care providers from warning law enforcement authorities about threats of violence: Doctors and other mental health professionals play an important role in protecting the safety of their patients and the broader community by reporting direct and credible threats of violence to the authorities. But there is public confusion about whether federal law prohibits such reports about threats of violence. The Department of Health and Human Services is issuing a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits these reports in any way.

 Protect the rights of health care providers to talk to their patients about gun safety: Doctors and other health care providers also need to be able to ask about firearms in their patients’ homes and safe storage of those firearms, especially if their patients show signs of certain mental illnesses or if they have a young child or mentally ill family member at home. Some have incorrectly claimed that language in the Affordable Care Act prohibits doctors from asking their patients about guns and gun safety. Medical groups also continue to fight against state laws attempting to ban doctors from asking these questions. The Administration will issue guidance clarifying that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit or otherwise regulate communication between doctors and patients, including about firearms.
