Harry, I think that's the most ridiculous thing I've read from you all day.
Are Dr.'s to be firearms instructors?
Seriously. Is yours?


Doctors are qualified to ask whether a household has firearms and
whether they are locked up and kept away from children. My wife
sometimes asks that question of patients who are out of control and
their family members and advises the family members to remove the
firearms from the household.

OK the where'd you come up with this foolishness?

" In a further assault on sanity, your state's backwards Republican

safety with their patients. "

Something you dream would be true?



It has been in the news for several years relating to Florida.

"In Florida, in 2011, a law was signed that made it illegal for doctors
to ask patients if they owned a gun. If doctors violate this law, they
can be disciplined, leading to fines, citations and even a loss of their
license.

A lower court struck down the law in 2012. But last week, a panel of
judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld
it. In their ruling, the judges declared that the law regulates
physician conduct "to protect patient privacy and curtail abuses of the
physician-patient relationship." The clear assertion of the judges is
that there is no legitimate health reason to be asking about gun ownership."

Well, is there?
