Even going around HIPPA, something more would have to be done in order to get someone into the NICS system as unable to purchase. The law is Adjudicate with mental illness. Is this the start of a plan for the Feds to get the records and then have people declared mentally unfit? Heck, the easiest place to start would be VA, then they could disarm all of the "right wing extremist veterans."
I understand that they're already doing that, besides given operation "fast & assinine", what's the rule of law mean to this administration?
