Is there anything our political "leaders" won't do for the NRA? Check out this, from the new manager's amendment [pdf].

‘‘(c) PROTECTION OF SECOND AMENDMENT GUN RIGHTS.—

‘‘(1) WELLNESS AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS.—A wellness and health promotion activity implemented under subsection (a)(1)(D) may not require the disclosure or collection of any information relating to—

‘‘(A) the presence or storage of a lawfully-possessed firearm or ammunition in the residence or on the property of an individual; or
‘‘(B) the lawful use, possession, or storage of a firearm or ammunition by an individual. [p. 5]

It goes on for another page and a half about what the feds can't do vis-a-vis your precious guns. Too bad the founders didn't create a specific amendment that gave women as much protection for their uteruses as their guns.

Update by SusanG: Mother Mags looks on the bright side, in comments:

Well, at least they didn't mandate that

everyone has to own a gun, and then limit our choice to one manufacturer that doubles its price every 5 years.
