Meaning "nothing."  This is supposed to already exist.  The mass of the bureaucracy makes it awkward, and adding more bureaucracy is not the answer.




So, abolish HIPAA?  Because that's exactly what it does in this case.




More nothing.




In other words, tell him to do his job?  And would this include NOT selling guns to Mexican drug lords?




This is already the case.




I've never met an FFL who didn't know how to do that.  It's already in the "guidance."  You can even call ATF and they'll talk you through it.


7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign. 


Ads about gun safety from idiots who don't know a fucking thing about guns.  Great.




Because criminals are very concerned about keeping their weapons secure.




You want to do what the NRA, GOA, CCRKBA and most conservatives have been asking the Feds to do for 30 years?  And people say you can't teach a pig to sing.  Will this actually happen, though?




This might help, if it's actually a searchable database...and if local LEO actually use it...something the President has no control over.


11. Nominate an ATF director. 


Oh, right.  You haven't had one for several years. [Popeye voice]  How embarassking! /Popeye voice




"You:  Curl up in a ball in the corner and kiss your ass goodbye.  You:  set up a command post and have press releases ready about how bad guns are."




Will this involve a paradigm or actualization and implementation of core competencies?  Because it sounds like corporate board room bullshit.




What about knife violence?  Domestic violence?  Drunken violence?  Maybe the cause is People?  Nah, that's too hard and would require real thinking.




"Hey, head lawyer:  What do you know about mechanical engineering?  No?  DAMN!"  But let's look at that:  We should spend billions, most of our profits, to develop something that won't work, is easily disabled, that police and military will be exempt from using, and might get me sued if it fails and someone dies, or fails and lets a criminal shoot?  How about, "Go fuck yourself." Does that work for you?




So what?  What exactly does asking someone about guns in their homes do?  And as I read the 1st and 5th Amendments, I can tell the doctor to go fuck himself, or say nothing at all.




Wow!  There are doctors who don't know that?


18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers. 


So...exactly what the NRA proposed...hidden down around the end.  Sneaky, sneaky. I see what you did there.




Assuming they all have the same floorplan, environment, local demographics and threats, that's brilliant.  Wait, what?




I won't comment on this because it might actually be useful, but I have no idea what he actually said. 






22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations. 


I'm withholding comment until I'm sure that doesn't mean "Waste more money, create a bunch of buzzwords not in DSM IV and outrage the mental health community."



"Mental health is a good thing.  We should definitely get some for Washington."
