The outrage over the question is way overdue. I have been asked whether or not their are firearms in my house at my daughters well-kid visits since she was 3 years old (she’s now 14). How you choose to answer, is entirely up to you.
I understand the “child safety” side of the issue the pediatricians’ office is trying to address, but this could be used in the future to confiscate firearms from the home when our medical records are no longer as private as they are now. Soon they may become something the federal government is very interested in.
The beauty of the free market system that we still have is that the doctor is allowed to ask them to go to another office, and the patients’ mother is free to decline to answer. So far there is still a bright side.
I'm slow, explain it to me.
