Thank you think that politicians are best suited for determining what privacy you just shouldn't have is interesting to me.



That's why we elect them, to make laws for us, like HIPPA and ERISA, and FERPA, and ...



Indeed! They enacted these laws because physicians, insurance companies, etc., were busily revealing private medical information. And in fact, people STILL violate HIPAA and when they do there is trouble. http://www.informationweek.com/healthcare/security-privacy/ucla-health-system-pays-865000-over-priv/231001236

I am saying that these bars to the release of personal information are EXACTLY what President was discussing. The laws preventing the release of private medical records are a significant barrier to the identification of anyone who has ever been depressed. To do that, the government has to have unfettered access to all personal medical and mental histories.

HIPAA is a codification of the right of privacy. Are you willing to overturn Roe v. Wade?

Yes. That's because there is a right to privacy.

Are you willing to say that a right to privacy doesn't exist? If so, overturn Roe v. Wade and you've got it.

They perform abortions on flights now?
Or just violate our HIPPA laws?



I got violated on a flight once.

And I'm ok with aborting the HIPPA laws.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

A goal of increased gun sales? That is not the goal of the NRA.



It is, actually. Gun manufacturers are major financial supporters of the NRA.



...and there's a problem with that?
Pretty much wasted effort for the people if there are no manufacturers. Why would they NOT support manufacturers?
My reality and yours are quite different.

I don't think he was suggesting ther'es a problem with it, he was just countering the statement that a goal of increased gun sales is not the goal of the NRA.

One can quibble and say "it's not the only goal," but it'd be hard to contend that it wouldn't at least be seen as a positive outcome.

Thanks for the "correction".

It was a rhetorical question directed anyone and everyone who would think that it is a problem..
I should have put 'everyone' in the reply-to.

Quade... the guy clearly shouldn't have been let out in the first place. Send him back to Briarcliff.


Not clearly at the time of release, obviously. All well and good for the Monday morning quarterbacks and the infamous Kallend Mindreading Machine.

Question 1:
If a person is detained like that, should he be kept forever...just because he might do something...even though you don't think he will?

Question 2:
There are numerous reasons why one would be detained like that. Some even voluntarily. Do you keep them all? If not, which ones are not to be released even though it is thought that he would not do something rash in then future.


People who think that there can be perfect laws and enforcement or a perfect judicial system will always have something to whine about.
My reality and yours are quite different.

I'll go along with that. While I very much doubt the NRA has a stated goal of increasing gun sales, more guns make it harder for the government to ban them. And manufacturer interests and NRA interests certainly travel well together.

Personally, I have given firearms to friends who did not own one. I like knowing they can protect their families. I like knowing we can share a sport together. I like knowing they are a citizen and not a subject.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Before or after a background and mental health check?

lol...if I'm giving you a firearm worth hundreds of dollars, I don't need to do a check. I know you.

You see 0 problem with that approach I am sure.

Which is of course the major problem.



Of course people give guns illegally to friends and family all the time.

One of the many ways illegally possessed firearms come about.

And a perfect example of why having so many easily available for you to buy to give away illegally is such a bad idea.

You don't know Dave. Considering Dave's credentials and his professions, Dave can find out more about you than you know about yourself. Dave is one of those few people where if he vouched for someone I'd take it as conclusive.

And I would trust your evaluation. Not so sure I'd trust others' evaluations, though. After all, in some circles, the fact that someone slaps their wife (or husband) around wouldn't be seen as a real problem. In others, the fact that they are an alcoholic wouldn't be seen as a real problem, or maybe being paranoid conspiracy theorist who believes in individual action (and plans to act on it).

Etc.

You are correct.

In fact I don't know anyone you know, and you don't know anyone I know.

I'm glad you have confidence in his judgement and believe him passing guns out to people is ok.

I am with Wendy.

I think the real question is do we aim the standards for who can conduct background checks at the highest or lowest standard.

Iowa's method (as described by rushmc) sounds like it makes some sense -- have a "can buy" card that you can show. Has to be renewed periodically (annually sounds reasonable, maybe make it more frequent for certain things, like maybe a drunk driving conviction).
