[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5295680, member: 12952"] Senate Gun Control Agreement lacks the any real solutions. Congress will have to pass a bill allowing law enforcement access to health records thus bypassing HIPAA rules. HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a 1996 Federal law that restricts access to individuals' private medical information. If LEOs has access to medical records for any purpose, that means anyone in government has access. I can't help but wonder if the "turned down for a gun purchase" will end up being the same as being on the no-fly list...you don't even know you're on it, then when you find out you're on it you're not told why, and find it near impossible to get off of it. We have heard similar things many times before, how "so and so's" Juvenile Criminal Record did not follow them into adulthood - so ordered by a Judge - records were sealed. [/QUOTE]
