You’re visiting your doctor because you have flu symptoms. After checking your heart, pulse and other vital signs, your doctor turns to you and asks, “By the way, the federal government has authorized me to ask you, What type and how many guns do you have in your home?”

Sounds like George Orwell’s “1984”? Wrong. It’s 2013. And if President Barack Obama gets his way by executive order, doctors across the country could play a key role in his new gun control initiative.

On Wednesday morning, Obama released a sweeping 23 executive actions and orders he will take to limit gun usage. Already, talk of the executive orders has raised significant controversy. Order 16, for example, may raise serious concerns with privacy advocates. The order, as summarized, simply states federal agencies will “clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.” …

Now when the doctor asks “What is the primary safety”? then puts goop on it and rams it up my butt I’ll remember.

Simple solution: lie. “Oh, no, Doc. I don’t have any guns. I hate guns. Wouldn’t let ‘em near me. No sirree ...”

Look up oppositional defiant disorder in the DSM IV. That kind of answer will get you reported to the feds as being “mentally ill” and prohibited from gun ownership.

I sincerely hope that there is a place for free form text on the questionnaire because my only two answers will be "Go to hell" and "Kiss my ass".

As they say in boot camp:

This is my rifle
and
THIS is my gun....

If the doctor asks, then you just say, "I got your gun right here. Put that in your chart."

They also have veterinarians collecting data under the guise of asking if you use your dog for hunting.

A good doc would say take two asprin and call me in the morning. If you have a good doc, take him out to the range or hunting.

Obamacare also makes all medical records, in part, property of the federal government. If your doctor records your answers to his/her questions about what guns types and quanities you keep in your house, that information is also property of the federal government.

My wife and I just agreed we would not be sharing that information with our doctors.

"the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.”

Doctors who ask this question are doing this for their own reasons/agenda, there is no mandate for him to ask or me to answer -- medical or other -- to do so.

MY doctor would never ask. If I go to a doctor (specialists, etc.) that does ask, he is going to get more questions from me than he will ever want to deal with. I'll tie him up till he says never mind.

You are absoutely correct, while it my be entertaining to post defiant comments here, in fact just LIE

No doc, there aren’t any guns in my home. It’s that easy.

It goes far beyond that. The doctor will ask your children. The doctor will ask your children if they know if any of their friends have guns. All of that then goes into a massive database that never forgets.
