Of course, there is a much easier way to get around lib idiocy...you lie.

After all, this is the founding principle of the Obamathink and his West Wing of Felon-Cretins.

Face it, folks...our gubmit is broke.

Way broke.

Doctors should be in the practice of medicine not regulation of the 2nd amendment.

"I see Mr. Jones you have a cold and a pain in your leg...How many guns do you own?"

No sense in a doctor asking such things.

Those Hippocratic hypocrites never say a word about 5 gal. buckets in the home do they? Shove it, doc!

The backdoor way I think they plan to confiscate firearms, is via the medical route. Doc asks if you have guns and immediately refers you to shrink if you respond in the affirmative. The shrinks will eventually determine that anyone who owns a gun is mentally ill, unless you’re of the correct political persuasion. Gun confiscation!

I heard an interesting counterpoint to such laws as this recently:

By denying doctors the ability to ask such questions, such laws deprive them of their First Amendment right to free speech. (Under such laws, they necessarily don’t have the ability to speak as freely as they might want to their patients about their views regarding gun ownership in homes with children)

I don’t necessarily agree with such an argument but I’d be curious how any FReeper may respond to such when confronted with it.

Comments?

(Remember don’t shoot the messenger please!)

They will fight back saying it's a 1st Amendment right for Docs to ask.
Not a peep about patient privacy.

I don't feel it's necessary to inform anyone who would listen as to whether or not I own a firearm. It's nobody's business but mine.I don't have to inform a doctor,lawyer or indian chief as to my choice of defense.My kids (if I had any that were school-aged) should not have to bring home a form for me to fill out stating whether or not I have firearms in my home.
That's my right.
