Also, the primary abusers were pediatricians asking children if their parents had guns.
Gun Registration
They don’t care how they get it
These jerks never sleep
Nothing like living in communists America. Right? We are getting there bit by bit.
They want to get this information into each person’s electronic patient medical history. Then they will be able to find all of the houses with guns with the push of a button.
I can hear the statist a$$holes saying “The government can’t access these records for non-medical purposes, so what are you worried about?”
The sad thing is, they may actually believe that...
The rationale behind this decision is the same one that the 9th Circuit used in upholding California’s ban on gay conversion therapy: the practice of medicine is an activity that can be regulated by the State even when it interferes with doctors’ free speech.
Just say no.
Bravo! It was distressing that this “dirty trick” sponsored by the radical leftist American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians, to coerce parents to surrender their guns, had originally been allowed by a federal judge.
It was downright underhanded. First, to get information about a family’s guns from the parents or their children, just so they could enter it into their medical record, where it could be accessed (thank you HIPAA) by any number of government agencies.
Then to coerce parents to give up their guns or to deny them medical service. And even to give the information to the state Child Protective Service “as *just* one factor” to determine if parents were “fit”. And even to get potential parents blocked from adopting because they owned guns.
But then the Florida legislature put the brakes on their scheme.
The AAP is so radical leftist, that a group of pediatricians have founded The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), a conservative medical society whose interest is in the medical care of children, not advancing the leftist agenda.
American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) also is totally dedicated to the leftist agenda, not medical care.
The physician doesn't have any "authority" other than what the patient cedes to them. In reality, they're people whom you consult for specialized knowledge and skills, like a plumber or a vet, or a mechanic, a contractor in other words. None of those people have any "authority" over you, or even to have any binding opinion on your lifestyle.
You may have a difficult time finding one honest enough and humble enough to realize that, but that's the fact of the matter.
