Everyone knows that gun sales have shot through the roof. Here are some other developments, headlines only.

Politico: NRA: 100,000 new members after Sandy Hook shooting

Washington Examiner: As liberals propose more gun control, Google searches on ‘Hitler gun control’ spike

People have seen the waste of time gun bans are and they also don't trust any segment of the govt'. Biden and the grabbers are going to find a large immovable wall in front of any attempt to regulate guns. The evidence is everywhere just like these statistics and the fact that people are more interested in addressing mental health issues than guns in polling.

How's this for a truly crazy development? Buried deep within the ObamaCare bill, Section 2716 part c to be exact, is a provision that would actually prevent the government from collecting data on firearm ownership and more. In addition this particular section was put into there by none other than Harry Reid.

So runs a report from Forbes which says Harry put it in there for sound political reasons as NV is a very progun state. The actual wording, from the article, is:

(c) PROTECTION OF SECOND AMENDMENT GUN RIGHTS.—

‘‘(1) WELLNESS AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS.— A wellness and health promotion activity implemented under subsection (a)(1)(D) may not require the disclosure or collection of any information relating to—

‘‘(A) the presence or storage of a lawfully- possessed firearm or ammunition in the residence or on the property of an individual; or

‘‘(B) the lawful use, possession, or storage of a firearm or ammunition by an individual.
‘‘

(2) LIMITATION ON DATA COLLECTION.—None of the authorities provided to the Secretary under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or an amendment made by that Act shall be construed to authorize or may be used for the collection of any in- formation relating to—

‘‘(A) the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition;

‘‘(B) the lawful use of a firearm or ammunition; or

‘‘(C) the lawful storage of a firearm or ammunition.

‘‘(3) LIMITATION ON DATABASES OR DATA BANKS.—None of the authorities provided to the Secretary under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or an amendment made by that Act shall be construed to authorize or may be used to maintain records of individual ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition.


Sadly the piece's author notes, Beyond that, if you imagine that this obscure section of the Affordable Care Act is going to block the Administration from exercising whatever legal authority it may have to regulate guns in America, I’m afraid you will be quite disappointed as any enforcement of new laws on guns will be under the jurisdiction of Holder's DOJ and not HHS.

Still it's amusing to know this is in there. I guess it's like Nancy said, "We Have to Pass the Bill So That You Can Find Out What Is In It"
