NICS Names for Cash – It Could Happen Here.

Gun Rights prevent rapeNICS Names for Cash.  Congress empowers states to blacklist gun owners in exchange for more Federal Dollars.

Without fanfare, and well below the radar of almost everyone, the US House of Representatives has just enabled New York State (and any other State contributing to the NICS database) to violate HIPAA laws and revoke gun permits without justification or cause. It sounds too crazy to be true, and most would think that defenders of the 2nd Amendment would prevent such a violation of rights to occur, but that is not the case.

HR 4660is a boring and relatively bland appropriations Bill that will fund various agencies of the Government. It was passed 5/30/14, in a vote of 321-87 (NY-22 Rep. Richard Hanna voted to pass this Bill). This Bill, like most, contained Amendments to it – in this case 84 of them.

H Amd 704(added to HR4660) spending $19.5 million to encourage States to voluntarily add names of citizens to the National Instant Criminal Background Check system (NICS).

States that have passed laws like NY’s Safe Act, or if we had something in NH like, say, SB 244, the state could then go ‘shopping’ for people to put on NICS in exchange for more Federal money.

Apparently, New York State is searching medical records of firearm permit holders – in violation of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the 4th Amendment – without cause, and isolating those receiving psychiatric care and (at least) anti-anxiety medication. These individuals, a full tally of which is currently unknown, are thus having their firearm license revoked and firearms confiscated. All without any incident, violation of law, or other factor involved.

People can’t say it would never happen because states like NY are already accused of that which “would never happen.”

And this isn’t about keeping dangerous people away from firearms.  This is about making everyone a potential victim by unilaterally disarming them any way possible.  We know they want that so keep this in that context.
