Dems quietly slipping gun control into mental-health bill

A group of Democrats fueled by the Orlando LGBT nightclub murders committed by Omar Mateen – a Muslim who touted his allegiance to ISIS during a 9-1-1 call placed amid the shootings – are planning to slip a couple gun-control measures into a bill by Rep. Tim Murphy that’s supposed to focus on mental health.

The bill, which is slated for House Energy and Commerce Committee consideration on Wednesday, was already under fire for perceived anti-liberty language, as WND previously reported.

But the gun control measures are new, added just after the Orlando shootings that left 49 dead and 53 injured.

Not all the text is available, but one, from Rep. Tony Cardenas, a Democrat from California, would lift a ban on gun-related research being conducted by federal entities, according to media reports. It comes as the American Medical Association voted this week to declare gun violence a “public health crisis” and to “actively lobby” for the federal government to conduct its own research on firearms, the Hill reported.

This a prime example why I have always said that all Bills introduced should be clean one subject Bill. These amendments almost always attached are never related to the original Bill. Gun control has nothing to do with mental health. The Feds need to do their job better.

Dave T: Just another back door move to gain control over the people. This bogus idea hasn't even grown roots yet and already the FBI has admitted that even with a new ban, terrorists will still easily be able to acquire guns to do the same crime again. Bravo Sheep! You've now taken things one step closer for you to be herded, and you have accomplished a grand total of nothing.

If the AMA has anything to do with it, forget it. This is the gang that brought us Big Pharma.

This government must take the guns.
It is just that simple.
The economy cannot be allowed to collapse until the guns are confiscated.

Congress does not allow the CDC to do studies on gun violence

AMA, FDA and CDC has more important things to solve instead of getting involved in Gun Control that has nothing to do with Medical conditions. They have cured no medical condition since polio if my mind serves me properly. They feed us drugs to control a medical condition instead of healing us. This makes them plenty of money and gives them the power to control society with , so-called, legal drugs and also has the ability to kill people legally and at their will.
