“BTW, 24 year old children?”

They need to include gangbangers up to about that age to make the statistic look good.

Actual accidents among actual children are very low—as another poster said, 5 gallon buckets sitting around are much more dangerous than guns.

It's standard practice now for pediatricians to ask safety questions of parents: Is there a pool in the home? Do you have car seats and use seat belts? Do you have a gun in the house, and if so, is it locked up, with ammunition stored and locked separately?

Why is the doctor wasting my dime at better than $400.00 an hour when he/she should be looking at my kid?

Good way to get fired, Doc.

Now check his aching ear.

Most pediatricians went off the cliff long ago

Do you have kids digger?

Most if not all urban pediatricians ask that and other intrusive crap on their forms as a new patient

Just like hospitals always ask if anyone has abused or threatened you in your home our workplace

I know its for women mostly but they ask me too
So silly

2 of 'em. now 25 and 30.

I raised them both myself, and I've never, ever had any of those questions asked of me or my children by a doctor or nurse.

One advantage to being a country mouse, I reckon. My kids never once saw a Pediatrician. They went to the same doctor as dad.

If I ever go to a doctor who asks me about firearms I will tell him that I am going out to the waiting room to give medical advice to patients.

that explains it...then.

mine run from 4-23....5 in total

the two oldest did pediatrics with a Cuban female doc who was a friend of ours in Miami at her Coral Gables office and she would have never asked such nonsense.

she was a stalwart being her daddy was a “brigade” vet

but in the 2000s here in Nashville Green Hills or even conservative Franklin were I live now they do it

I asked the last doc what the hell...he said it was a form thing made by the Pediatrics association and to just ignore it

he hunts

it’s just the times in places..sux

Happy Easter or a belated Passover too

Instead simply ask the Doctor Sir exactly what formal training in firearms safety have you had & does your malpractice insurance carrier know you are asking these questions & would you like me to inform them .

The threat of calling the malpractice insurance carrier & telling them about the Doctor practicing outside their scope of practice will have a sobering effect on all but the dimmest in the profession.

"I think we as physicians are within our rights to discuss any issue we deem appropriate," he said.

Not when it gives aid and comfort to our nations enemies; some of whom, it appears, are physicians.

And the penalty for that one is a whole lot worse than a referral to a physicians' licensing board. The good doctor REALLY won't like it.

New related article *here*

The two questions now are, one, will the governor sign the bill into law, and two, will the adoption of the legislation be followed by similar legislation in other states.
