Since the vicious political attacks on the NRA and gun rights in the last 18 days it's good to see that in those 18 days over 100,000 new members have joined the organization. They've gone from 4,100,000 members to 4,200,000 members. Soon it will be even more. The NRA's goal is to have 5,000,000 members before this current attack and debate is over.

Can anyone (possibly Sactoking) tell me if the gun protection parts of Obamacare are factual and not rumors?

*EDIT* NRA ranks have soared 250,000 in one month.
“We are willing to talk to policymakers about any reasonable proposals and plans,” an NRA official said in the Playbook report, regarding the upcoming meeting with Biden. “However, the NRA is hearing not just from Beltway elites and the chattering class, but real Americans all over the country that are hoping the NRA is not going to compromise on any of the principles of the Second Amendment, nor are we going to support banning guns. But we’re willing to listen.”

Acting with an assist from CNN, right-wing bloggers and gun advocates in the know, let loose with a tidbit of information they have, no doubt, been long chomping at the bit to unleash—the revelation that there is already a law on the books that would prevent the government from making good on Biden’s tantalizing suggestion, a law that would actually prevent the government from collecting data on firearm ownership and more.
And what might that law be?
Obamacare.
That’s right—it turns out that there is, indeed, a provision buried deep in the thousands of pages that is the Affordable Care Act entitled, “Protection of Second Amendment Rights”. You’ll find it in Section 2716 part c of the Affordable Care Act although, to save you the trouble, I have re-printed the provision below for your perusal.
