I don't see the problem with 2 & 16 ??

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

I have no objection to my background info being transferred from state records to the background check system. That which is public record should be available to the process. I see no way it could be used for more than what is intended.

Also, "addressing the legal barriers" takes a lot of punch out of it if there are serious privacy issues.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

Does not require that patients provide any info. I would decline to answer any such questions from my Doc, or I might lie.
