Current Events & Hot Topics
These are Executive orders 2-5. I will insert what I assume each of them to mean. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.
2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background-check system. Basically, screw HIPAA. We demand information that was promised to be kept confidential.
3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background- check system. What are these incentives? Do states get more fed $ for releasing confidential info about their residents?
4. Direct the attorney general to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks. I take this to mean: Broaden the list of 'potentially dangerous illnesses' to include more people, since so many of us are on meds for one reason or another.
5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun. Meaning, if police seize a person's weapons and their reasons for doing so are proven to be unfounded, we will still make people jump thru red tape to get their weapons back.

Executive Actions, not Orders....the entire event was a dog and pony show and a test to see if Joe Biden could behave.

to see if he would do as told or something more?

Ok, Actions. Sorry. And what are you implying? That none of these will be pursued into action?

Actions are a child's Christmas wish list
Orders are a parents shopping list.
Many of the items he proposed will take time to either implement, to redo existing laws/regulations or to clear red tape that the government is well known for.

Ever see Joe at the recent Senate swearing in ceremony. I've seen him in person and I was like yep, that's Joe, hasn't changed much.

This all depends on what happens with the information and who's trained to handle it. At this point there really aren't details.
3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background- check system. What are these incentives? Do states get more fed $ for releasing confidential info about their residents?Don't know. However, I think the sharing of information between different states and groups has been a hurdle. If they do it, could be a good thing.
4. Direct the attorney general to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks. I take this to mean: Broaden the list of 'potentially dangerous illnesses' to include more people, since so many of us are on meds for one reason or another.Being on medication or having a mental illness doesn't prevent you from purchasing a firearm. This is probably more like, convicted felons and/or immigrants who have yet to meet the qualifications necessary to purchase a firearm. Reviewing catagories kind of sounds like rhetoric to me.
5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun. Meaning, if police seize a person's weapons and their reasons for doing so are proven to be unfounded, we will still make people jump thru red tape to get their weapons back.What red tape? You wouldn't even notice a background check being done. If you are a responsible gun owner, you should have no problem with a background check being done before your property is returned to you. Just because a weapon was seized and is being returned, does not mean the weapon wasn't illegally aquired or your status has somehow changed.

HIPPA has been a failure from the get go

Each state maintains records differently, many not computerized due to time it takes to manually input them and money costs. Hell, we can't even get individual federal agencies to work together and share information.

Ever read the 4473 questions. Broaden the list does mean to expand the list of disqualifiers. Holder himself brought it up during the last revision of the forms FFLs maintain.

Background check is one thing, they seize the X item and say, prove it is yours. Got a receipt for it? Until you can prove this item is really yours, we are going to keep it. Said item does not have to be a firearm, it can be any item, your car, watch, money you happen to have in your purse. Stuff like that has happened in the past.

I think you covered it pretty well. I expect to see PTSD added to those things preventing you from owning a gun. Homeland Security has already added our military members/retirees to their security threat list.
