It was a day that will live in infamy.

President Obama traveled to Denver, Colorado yesterday to sign the
multi-billion dollar, pork-laden, so-called "stimulus" bill
into law.

But forget the $787 billion price tag you heard on TV. Forget the $12
TRILLION debt limit which the bill created.

By the time debt services and other frills of the "socialism
bill" are
accounted for, the cost will be over $3,000,000,000,000 (yes, three
TRILLION).

This makes the bill the biggest government spending grab in human
history.

But what about the details? The hundreds and hundreds of pages in the
bill were not made available until less than 18 hours before the final
passage vote. But here's what we know in relation to the gun-related
provisions:

* The final bill continues to spend between $12 and $20 BILLION on
requiring your doctor to retroactively put your most confidential
medical records into a government database. Based on our experience
with veterans, we would expect the government to try to use computerized
psychiatric records to impose gun bans on people who have sought (or
will seek) treatment.

* The final bill continues to fund liberal community action groups like
ACORN, which, you may remember, engaged in massive criminal election
fraud on behalf of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy and also was
involved in anti-Second Amendment activism in New Jersey.

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was at least honest when he said
it would be a shame to let a crisis like the current recession "go to
waste." Like vultures picking on the nation's carcass, the White House
has used the nation's pain to lavish largesse on its political
supporters, at the expense of the nation's economic survival.

And, in the end, this act of ethical depravity was made possible by
every Democrat Senator who voted for the bill, plus the defections of
three Republicans: Arlen Specter (R-PA), Olympia Snowe (R-ME), and
Susan Collins (R-ME).

If there is one silver lining to all of this, it's the debunking of a
rumor that recently swept across the internet. The rumor claimed that
the provisions of HR 45 -- the massive gun registration bill introduced
by Chicago congressman Bobby Rush (D) -- were "rolled into"
what was
passed.

But having searched the contents of the new law, GOA staff has
determined the rumor appears to be false.

If all this Government Stimulus shit doesn't cause a Revolution, I have no idea what will!! This shit has got to stop. It is time to stop voting for republicrats and demicans because all you will ever get is more Government spending and fraud.

what the fuck! Emphasis added to the bold topics. First off, how can you and why would you use a retroactive method like this without the obvious purpose of barring as many people as possible. I say this because most people who receive psychiatric treatment use it sparingly (when they do) or go for a time and then never go back. Most people do not go every week for years at a time, and I do not even believe that these people are a risk to anyone because existing gun laws prohibit the right people anyway.

Conclusion: gun grab.

Also, from a medical standpoint, this agenda will probably discourage people who need treatment from getting it if they think they will lose their gun rights.

When will the D's start wearing arm bands? They've earned it at this point.

Yep, by the new election the sheeple will have gotten their handouts and the Amnesty Bill will add millions to the Socialists voter rolls and we will get more of the same.
