| Could the Feds potentially use your prescription drug history to curtail your Second Amendment rights? In the wake of President Obama’s list of 23 executive orders — saying “If there’s even one thing that we can do to reduce this violence…” — the potential exists for the Department of Justice to use Federal drug databases to screen for “mental illnesses.” While the idea may sound far-fetched, state and federal agencies already cooperate to share information about your history of prescription drug use, including the use of medications for “psychiatric disorders.” Your doctor, your pharmacist, and your local emergency

Mash this up against the Dodd/Frank law where the Feds have access to all of your bank accounts and they can also see where your money is. Orwell got it wrong - Big Brother was a Liberal, not a Tea Party Conservative.

So if someone was prescribed Zyban (which is actually an anti-depressant AKA Welbutrin) to help quit smoking, he can be denied the right to buy a gun?

I´ve had problems sleeping my entire life and I take Trazodone to combat the problems. It´s a very old anti-depressant which is no longer used for depression but has been found to be a great help with sleep disorders. I take half the recommended dosage. I guess I´ll be on the no guns list.

Stupid article. Why make up ´threats´? There are plenty of real threats in the world to worry about instead of worrying about threats no one has made. No one in the government has ever made this proposal...and it is a stupid proposal at that.

Electronic medical records (EMR’s) are being mandated under Obamacare, purportedly to improve care and lower costs, even though all evidence to date shows that they do neither. The real purpose is to establish the federal database that will allow them to do just this sort of thing. It’s here, and it’s real.

A comment below the article: "The Ottoman Empire banned Armenians from owning firearms in areas under Ottoman control during WW1. The people that turned in their firearms to government officials were immediately executed as potential enemies of the state. Armenians that insisted they had never owned firearms were executed for hiding weapons. The Armenians that took to the mountains with their firearms and resisted were eventually rescued by the French and British."

Certainly an invasion of privacy,but consider for a moment some history of mass killings. 1999, Columbine, 12 killed: Eric Harris on Luvox,which had 4% of trial users develop mania. 1989,Stockton,5 killed: Patrick Purdy on Amitriptyline and Thorazine. 1998,Springfield,OR,2 dead,22 wounded.Kip Kinkel on Prozac and Ritalin. 1988,Winnetka IL,1 dead.6 wounded: Laurie Dann on Anafranil and Lithium. 1989, Louiville KY,9 dead.Joe Wesbecker on Prozac. 2005,Red Lake Resevation MN,9 dead,Jeff Weise was on Prozac. 2001,Andrea Yates drowned her 5 children. She was on Effexor.
Prescribed psychiatric drugs have side effects,rare,but real.Effexor, for example, causes "homocidal ideation" in less than one in 1000 users, but there have been 19.2 million prescriptions since 2005, when maker Wyeth added this to the list of side effects.
There a more cases like these, so we should not ignore the issue.

So let me guess, #12 has no smoke detectors or fire extinguishers in his house because it isnt on fire. He drives without insurance because he isnt in a wreck. There is no food in his house because he isnt hungry. He has no health insurance because he isnt sick. Simpleton.

Well, duh. I said this to someone just the other day. They´ll start with this list and go from there: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/mental-health-medications/alphabetical-list-of-medications.shtml
#17 - Correlation does not equal causation. I.e., Possibly/likely they were on the meds because of the disorder that led to the shootings, not that the meds led to the shootings.

I´m late to the show about causation versus correlation. But allow me to use an example from my classroom days. The incidence of rape goes up directly proportional to the consumption of ice cream. That is an example of correlation. But eating ice cream does not cause rape. It is that during warm weather, women are dressed in more convenient way for the rapists, and the women are more likely to be outside of the safety of their residences.

As a nurse practitioner, I can already look up and see if a patient has gotten prescriptions filled anywhere for schedule drugs. Schedule drugs are drugs which are more tightly controlled. Generally, these are amphetamine-type drugs like ritalin and narcotics like oxycontin and percocet.
Trazadone isn´t a schedule drug, to the poster who thought that he or she would end up on some list because of a prescription.

WASHINGTON — Haynes Johnson, a pioneering Washington journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the civil rights movement and migrated from newspapers to television, books and teaching, died Friday. He was 81. The Washington Post reported he died at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Md. In a statement to the Post newsroom, Managing Editor Kevin Merida said Johnson died of a heart attack. Johnson was awarded a Pulitzer in 1966 for national reporting on the civil rights struggle in Selma, Ala., while with The Evening Star in Washington. He spent

The FBI has arrested a San Antonio man on charges he lied to get into the United States and tried to get a sensitive Defense Department position. Wissam Allouche, 44, appeared for an initial hearing Friday afternoon, and shook his head when U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad read the charges leveled in a federal indictment. The judge ordered him held pending a bail hearing and his arraignment Tuesday. “He allegedly tried to cover up his affiliation with Hezbollah,” said special agent Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio. “It is believed

A FREE press in a democracy demands a delicate balance. The First Amendment means the media must have the right to inquire without hindrance. The government has a legitimate interest in keeping some national security information secret. When these come into conflict, the balance often has been struck this way: The media are free to pursue secrets, but it is up to those in government to keep them. When the media come into possession of information that, if disclosed, could be damaging, the government can plead the case for secrecy — and the media generally are open to persuasion.

The brutal murder of an off-duty soldier by two Muslim activists continues to dominate the news in Great Britain. The scene was utterly bizarre: in broad daylight, in a busy section of London, the two Muslims apparently ran the soldier down with a car, within a block or two of his barracks, and then attacked him with knives and a meat cleaver. They attempted to behead him, apparently not quite successfully, as hundreds of passers-by looked on. No one stopped them–private ownership of firearms being illegal in the U.K.–but three random women

A day after insurers complained that Kathleen Sebelius and the Obama administration had pressured them to fund Enroll America, a House committee sent them a request for more information on the matter. The Energy and Commerce Committee had already begun looking into whether Sebelius had broken any laws by attempting to get donations from an industry that will be heavily regulated by her under ObamaCare, and now The Hill reports this new request as a widening of that probe (via Rare): House Republicans have widened their probe of Health and Human Services

President Obama delivered an address today at the National Defense University called “The Future of our Fight Against Terrorism.” Actually, part of the speech was about the past, including much self-congratulation and some shots at President Bush. This part of the speech is revisionist rubbish. As Max Boot explains: Obama said, for example, that after he came into office, “we unequivocally banned torture, affirmed our commitment to civilian courts, worked to align our policies with the rule of law, and expanded our consultations with Congress.” Umm, actually all of that happened in Bush’s second term.

In seventy lugubrious paragraphs, President Obama today asked America whether as commander-in-chief he should bomb terrorists. He concluded that sometimes he should, and sometimes he shouldn’t. He couldn’t quite make up his mind. Therefore, he would appoint a panel to advise him. Mr. Obama has already authorized more than 200 such drone bombings. His staff has bragged that before ordering a bombing, he personally reviews who lives and who dies. Imagine if Prime Minister Churchill or President Truman had appeared on television to announce an advisory panel before bombing our enemy. We would be appalled

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.
