Email that I got from a veteran friend of mine ...

EXTREEMLY IMPORTANT read, pass onto your friends, family and anyone owning or wanting to own a gun!
Don't know if it's is true but be Aware, Eric Holder & Oboma don't want Americans or Patriots to have guns!

Do you have a gun in the house?


When I had my gallbladder taken out and spent 10 days in the hospital for what should have been an overnight stay the insurance company kicked me out. I had home nurse visits for two weeks and was asked if I had guns in the house. I respond that if I did I would not tell them. So the below has some merit.

FYI, I am passing this along... there are comments from two other people I have also been asked if we keep guns in the house. The nurse just kinda slipped it in along with all the other regular questions. I told her I refused to answer because it was against the law to ask.

Everyone, whether you have guns or not, should give a neutral answer so they have no idea who does and who doesn't. My doctor asked me if I had guns in my house and also if any were loaded. I, of course, answered yes to both questions. Then he asked why I kept a loaded gun close to my bed. I answered that my son, who is a certified gun instructor and also works for Homeland Security, advised me that an unloaded, locked up gun is no protection against criminal attack.

The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare, and probably everyone else.

Just passing this along for your information: I had to visit a doctor other than my regular doctor when my doctor was on vacation.. One of the questions on the form I had to fill out was: Do you have any guns in your house?? My answer was None of your damn business!!

So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government intervention. Either way, it is out there and the second the government gets into your medical records (as they want to under Obamacare) it will become a major issue and will ultimately result in lock and load!!

Please pass this on to all the other retired guys and gun owners... Thanks, from a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: I had a doctor's appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions: 1. Did I feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?

The nurse then informed me that if I had answered yes to any of the questions I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security.

Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware. The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner, veteran or not, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED !

If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom.

They are coming for us, so unless you're an ostrich, do not stick your head in the sand ..........

4. Anything that says, "I don't know if this is true, but..."

is not true 99% of the time.

5. Tell your friend to stop listening to Prison Planet and leave Glennbeckistan. Insanity is infectious

And why not cross post this in the Gungeon?

This would be best refuted or proven by them, I think.

Anonymous statements using all the right wing mantras since 2008 in mass emailings don't usually hold water.

6. Tell you friend that actions speak louder than words.

Obama doesn't seem to want to tackle this issue. It seems as though the current federal gun laws are here for a while.

7. Your 'Friend's' Mental Health, Sir, Is Clearly Such that He Ought Not Be Allowed Anywhere Near A Gun

8. whenever a letter begins with "don't know if it is true", you know it is bullshit, and I have to

tell you, your friend is an idiot

He is a veteran? maybe he should pull his head out of his ass and realize it was the repukes who were trying to block benefits for soldiers and veterans

They want to vote against their own interest based on mccarthyisms and lies, then their fools, and if the repukes win, and their benefits, social security and medicare get destroyed, I don't want their winney asses complaining

The economic situation is where it is today because of the repuke policies of deregulation and off-shoring.

Yes, some deems signed on to that crap, but don't be fooled, it was a republican since reagan, and they have been pushing since FDR gave us social security and medicare to get rid of it.

Maybe he should re-enlist if romney get elected, since he want to continue to pursue indefinite wars

9. the fist part doesnt make

any sense. well none of it makes sense.
Lets see,
10 days in hospital, but insurance kicked me out...

So the insurance kicked them out but they had 10 days in the hospital?
I've got a headache.
