A Blue Slip in the House

Someone with intestinal fortitude wants to save the 2A. Great. I like that. Still, can someone please explain this Blue Slip issue? I have never heard of it being used. The article makes it sound like a slam dunk but I don't believe in those anymore. Kind of like believing in the tooth fairy. If this IS true, would it also have implications toward universal healthcare? I hope that this doesn't come off as a drive-by. It certainly isn't meant to be one.
As they explain the blues slip,
"A “blue slip” is a resolution that automatically returns to the Senate any bill that violates the “origination clause” of the United States Constitution. The origination clause states “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.” "
