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!)
When Doc asks if you have a gun in the house, answer “Try breaking in some night and you’ll find out”.
