Obama Gives Doctors The Ability To Report Mentally Ill Patients To Database In Gun Control Measure While Rivals Mock His Crying On TV

In a November 30, 2015 article on the Judiciary Report's sister site, www.Compendius.com, the site recommended doctors be given the ability to report to the government's background check division (FBI) the names of mentally ill patients, who would pose a danger as gun owners, barring them from ownership. 5-weeks later on January 5, 2016, President Barack Obama announced his new gun control measures includes a new feature that enables doctors to report to the FBI's background check division the names of mentally ill patients, in an effort to bar them from buying guns:

"Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood Shooter Is A Schizophrenic Man Who Believes
He Is A Woman

November 30, 2015 ...

Dear’s conduct again proves there are holes in the national gun check system allowing mentally ill people to purchase weapons. There have been many high profile shootings in America, a number on university campuses, where it was later revealed doctors had declared the shooter mentally ill, but due to a lack of timely and viable methods of connecting medical records with national gun background check systems, many mentally unfit people go under the radar. Not only should they have been denied the right to buy a gun, but institutionalized as well. 

America needs gun control. Approximately 30,000 Americans die each year in non-police based shootings. That number is unacceptably high. Productive members of society are being lost to gun violence in acts that are preventable via the proper legislation being enacted and an overhaul of the gun background check system to sync them with medical records of individuals flagged as suffering from mental illness. 

All Americans’ medical records would not need to be included in the database. Doctors offices could each be assigned a password protected user name and pin/password that requires medical professionals to refer patients’ names to the database, who meet the mental illness criteria that poses a danger to the public. This is the only viable solution that could decrease the number of gun related fatalities committed by mentally ill people, in the absence of gun control, with the latter being the best option."



My article link tweet

It's not the first time I have written something that the government later implemented. A number of items made as public suggestions on my sites have been used by governments. However, my public suggestions are made in an effort to help save lives. Therefore, I do not view under the category of copyright infringement in those cases.

A press site is claiming the new directive from the president this week is apart of a plan he unveiled on gun control in January 2013. However, upon further inspection, Obama's only gun control initiative in January 2013, was unveiled on the 16th at the White House and states nothing about doctors reporting mentally ill patients to the gun background check division of the government, handled by the FBI, which is what I proposed 5-weeks ago and what the Obama Administration proposed two days ago (see articles below under the STORY SOURCE section).


Obama criticized on social networking for fake crying and using his middle finger to wipe away his tear

Obama's speech from the White House in Washington, is being heavily criticized on social networking by the public and press. Some are stating he was crying crocodile tears. I am not a fan of Obama, due unlawful and high unethical acts he has committed in office. However, proverbially putting him aside in this matter, it is time for people to recognize the fact thousands of people in America are needlessly dying every year due to senseless acts of violence that need to desist. Gun control has worked for other nations and can work for America as well, in greatly reducing crime rates, particularly in the area of homicides.

Doctors can report some mentally ill patients to FBI under new gun control rule

01/04/16 06:05 PM EST - Delivering on its promise to deliver "common sense" gun control, the Obama administration on Monday finalized a rule that enables health care providers to report the names of mentally ill patients to an FBI firearms background check system. The action was one of a series of steps that President Barack Obama had called for in January 2013 in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings to curb gun violence, but the rule was not published until today.
 

Conservatives Mock Obama For Crying About Newtown School Shooting

“It’s not really believable," said Fox News host Andrea Tantaros.

01/05/2016 02:29 pm ET | Updated 6 hours ago - President Barack Obama issued another impassioned plea on Tuesday for Congress to take action to curb gun violence, shedding tears as he recalled the 2012 Newtown school massacre. "Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad," the president said as he unveiled his executive actions on gun control...

After the president's speech, however, prominent conservatives mocked Obama for displaying his emotions about the tragedy and suggested they weren't authentic. Fox News Radio's Todd Starnes alluded to the fact that Obama wiped his tears away using his middle finger. Others accused the president of faking his emotions for the cameras. On Fox News' "Outnumbered," host Andrea Tantaros suggested checking the president's lectern for raw onion...

“It just didn’t seem horribly authentic. And maybe it is; I don’t know him at all,” McCain said. “Go to your hometown of Chicago instead of talking about God-fearing Americans when ISIS is coming to their hometown."



Here Are The 23 Executive Orders On Gun Safety Signed Today By The President 

Jan 16, 2013 @ 12:47 PM 737,080 views - President Barack Obama signs a series of executive orders about the administration's new gun law proposals as children who wrote letters to the White House about gun violence. President Obama has signed 23 executive orders designed to address the problem of gun violence in America. The following are the items addressed:

Gun Violence Reduction Executive Actions:

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

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.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

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.

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.

8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make itwidely available to law enforcement.

11. Nominate an ATF director.

12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.

13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.

15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effectiveuse of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to developinnovative technologies.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.

19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.

20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.

21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.

23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.

It does not appear that any of the executive orders would have any impact on the guns people currently own-or would like to purchase- and that all proposals regarding limiting the availability of assault weapons or large ammunition magazines will be proposed for Congressional action. As such, any potential effort to create a constitutional crisis—or the leveling of charges that the White House has overstepped its executive authority—would hold no validity.

Student Opens Fire In Deadly Incident At Northern Arizona University In America In What Is A Serious Reminder The Nation Needs Gun Control (Video)



1 person is dead and 3 wounded in a Northern Arizona University campus shooting in Flagstaff that occurred this morning at 1:20AM. 18-year-old Northern Arizona University freshman, Steven Jones, has been arrested in connection with the shooting. He has been charged with first degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault. Each surviving victim was shot multiple times and are being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center. The incident occurred after a fight.


Steven Jones

This can't keep happening. Precious lives are being lost to senseless acts of violence. Many nations have reversed their political policies on gun ownership in regards to the public. There's no shame in that. America needs serious gun control laws, as the majority of the 30,000 deaths per year at the hands of civilians could have been prevented.

UPDATED: Man Opens Fire At An Oregon University Killing 9 Christians And Wounding 20



Chaotic scene outside the Umpqua Community College

Gun violence has struck again in America. A currently unnamed shooter opened fire at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, killing 9 and wounding 20. Witnesses stated the shooter pointed a gun at a room full of students and began demanding to know their religion. Those who stated they are Christian were lined up and killed, shot in the head execution style. Those who refused to name a religion were shot in the legs. The gunman later shot and killed himself.

The incident is a sad and painful reminder that gun control laws are needed in America. Random acts of violence are claiming precious lives on a regular basis. The bloodshed must stop. Knife crime is terrible as well, but gun incidents are far worse, due to the ability of automatic weapons to dispense multiple bullets in seconds.

Civilians should not be in possession of these types of guns (or any guns for that matter). Over 30,000 Americans die each year from gun violence. That is a massive number of people to die in that manner and it is preventable. Nations that enacted gun control laws saw a dramatic reduction in murders and overall crime levels.

White House Releases Photo Of President Obama Firing A Gun


Barack Obama

The White House has released photos of U.S. President Barack Obama firing a shot gun while skeet shooting. Um, was that a warning shot to someone. Did someone tick him off. The photo was released after press secretary Jay Carney was questioned about Obama's claims he skeet shoots. The picture is being met with mixed reactions, due to the current climate in America, after a number of deadly high profile shootings.

Beautiful 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was gunned down at a bus stop in Chicago, Illinois, weeks after performing at the second inauguration of President Barack Obama. An $11,000 reward has been issued for information leading to the capture of the killer. The White House also sent its condolences.



Barack Obama

It marks a heavy week of gun violence for America, as a bus driver in Alabama was killed today trying to protect young kids from a gunman, who took a 6-year-old hostage. There was also an armed hostage standoff in Arizona today. Currently, the U.S. Congress and the Obama Administration are working on gun laws, to stem the flow of violence using high powered weapons.

Obama Signs Gun Control Measures Into Law


 
Barack Obama

President Barack Obama has signed new gun control measures into law and along with it billions in new spending. The NRA is steamed over the president's actions deeming it unconstitutional and a violation of the Second Amendment. However, the Obama administration has been hinting for days that it would undertake this move.

Obama Controversially Considering Executive Order On Gun Control In America


Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama is sensationally threatening to invoke Executive Order regarding gun control in America. The U.S. Constitution guarantees Americans the right to bear arms, but recent shootings, such as Sandy Hook and Aurora, Colorado, have alarmed the government.

Announcements from the White House in this regard are very controversial and being met with great opposition. It will be very interesting to see how this one plays out, as it would set a precedent. However, this could also prove very dangerous for Obama, as a small percentage of gun owners are violent. If he does adopt this measure, the president needs to take greater safety measures and not be so open during public stops.

President Obama To Address Gun Control Via Congress


In response to the Newtown, Connecticut mass shooting, where 20 kids and 7 adults were murdered by Adam Lanza, with high powered weapons, U.S. President Obama is working on a gun control package that he intends to send to Congress within the next few weeks.

This week, the families and friends of victims of gun violence met in Washington for a touching and emotional press conference which aired on C-Span. Most agree something needs to be done to prevent another tragedy, but will Congress be able to agree on what course of action to take. Hopefully they will.


15 of the 20 children murdered in Newtown connection shooting at Sandy Hook elementary

A few suggestions that may be helpful if applied correctly. As some want a full gun ban in America, while others do not, as it is unconstitutional under the law, an option would be to apply a tax to gun sales and use the money to pay for armed guards in schools, along with better building security.

This would also create jobs, which in this matter, isn't a priority, as the kids' safety is the issue. At the end of the day, most people agree, something needs to be done, as these mass shootings keep transpiring, devastating families across the country.
