I have 15, seventeen, and thirty round mags for several of my handguns. Believe me, most 9mm come stock with a 15 round mag or higher.

 

Dude...from what you describe your philosophy to be, and your description of your arsenal, I am more afraid of you than some hypothetical bad guy.

Because I believe it is my right to keep and bear arms. The weapons that the uninformed deem as assault weapons are nothing more than tactically superior arms. Therefore, I should be allowed to have them. Also, I don't plan to have to reload during a gunfight because tactically ignorant sections of our society decided that they didn't want me to have more than ten rounds in my weapon. I can assure you, a criminal that I am protecting myself from will likely have more than ten rounds in his or her mag, if they have a mag fed weapon.

 

The bolded makes it obvious that this is your opinion on the issue. As with any executive order, it could be challenged at the Supreme Court, just as any laws that might be made at the state level on the gun-control issue can be challenged in front of the high court. And I'm of the assumption that any modification to federal, state or local laws with regards to the 2nd Amendment will eventually find its way to the Supreme Court.

Did the President state that the background check is also required int he secondary market?

 

I ask because it's estimated that 40% of the gun sales are in the secondary market ie not from a licensed dealer. You can't leave it up to the seller. To make this work you'd have to require them to involve a licensed seller to do a background check.

There is no need to be R.M. I own 48 guns. Twelve of them are pistols, four of them are what people would classify as assault weapons. One of the pistols is used for hunting big game, and three are .22's. The remaining 32 guns are what would be classified as hunting and sporting weapons. I am an extremely law abiding citizen. I have many, many friends that are in the same boat as me as far as enjoying shooting and hunting using all types of weapons. You have nothing to fear from me, but there are many people that would like to take what you have, or harm someone for no reason. A friend of mine that doesn't have his concealed carry was just robbed at gunpoint when the bars were closing on Bardstown road in Louisville last year. It is a shame that you would consider someone like me more of a threat than a common criminal. BTW, I highly doubt I am the only one who fits this bill on this site.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever been asked about owning guns by their doctor. I have not.

Much of the gun control debate has also centered around mental illness. I'm guessing that directive is geared toward someone with medical knowledge of someone also being able to alert authorities of potential danger. However, that would seem to be in violation of patient-doctor confidentiality agreements.

No. I also didnt know there would be any reason a doctor could not ask though. Seems like they should be able to in the case of someone they consider to be depressed or mentally ill.

Yes, but he is also the assistant pastor at my church and my cousin. He simply wanted to know where to get a good deal on a new Kimber.

Agreed although Gchs brings up a good point about doctor-patient confidentiality and HIPAA. Lots of issues involved the more we get into it.

VA has been asking veterans per updated or new policy. Recently this was confirmed by a family member.

Those are good points.

 

Is a doctor allowed to call the police if a patient makes a threat?

I've heard the 40% number but have a very hard time believing it. I've also not seen any concrete evidence to back it up. That said I don't necessarily disagree with requiring the back ground checks.

Didn't know that. Wonder if there's any penalty if the person just refuses to answer.

Those are good points.

I would hope so.
