My wife has run into this twice. Both times she has answered, I’m not going to answer that question. The nurses both took that as an affirmative on owning guns. My wife quickly corrected them by reminding them that no comment meant just that and nothing more.

All Senators should be put on notice that their vote re Kagan will determine their political survival or defeat in a nation whose voters are well aware that their fundamental rights are in jeopardy.

Senators: vote to confirm Kagan -- and die (politically)!

[Dansong]

Love your answer!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

She will be a pathetic excuse for a supreme court justice....

[texmexis best]

I have been asked that same question by PAs in doctor’s offices. They lost me as a client. Immediately.

It is none of their business.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I would told nurse ratchet in no uncertain terms,
“None of your fu*kin’ business, your Nazi gun grabbing b*tch.” Then I would gotten really nasty.....

I live in Maine, where everyone is well-armed. They wouldn’t dare ask that question around here.

"I don’t care for this woman either,but isn’t she replacing another democrat that votes against all that is good..I don’t think it will be much different if she wins or loses.."

Here's the difference as I see it. We are replacing someone on the court who is 90 + with someone who is under 50. That means she will most likely be on the court a loooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg time.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Is that her girlfriend?

[Dansong]

My first thought was how unprofessional. Even “Do you own a firearm?” “Do you keep it safely stored?”, etc., would offend less. But the curt “Do you have a gun at home?” seemed designed only to demean and offend.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

She’s lousy on the second amendment. In her mind the KKK and the NRA are the same type of organizations.

On the first amendment, she would ban handbills and political free speech. If she had been around at the founding of our country, she would have done her best to ensure that Thomas Paine’s Common Sense did not get published or distributed...

[MrB]

Just heard a clip this morning -

she was asked if a law that required all Americans to eat at least 3 vegetables a day would violate the extent of the commerce clause,

and she answered “that would be a stupid law”, but then went on to say that the court should not overturn it.

Basically, she admitted that the power of the government should be limitless.

“Do you have a gun at home?”

The correct answer is "no," because you should have several. Also it's NOTDB.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Do you have a gun at home?"

My recommended response, Why? Do you want to borrow it?

[PLD]

Like I said I do not care for her,I don't know her, but from the time she opened her mouth one could tell who she is and what she is going to do..She is being there to please the Muslim and if she is not confirmed another liberal will take the seat..A no win situation..Even if Obama were dead and Biden took over she would be the choice for the democrats..Biden is a moron so he would leave everyone Obama put in place where they are including this liberal commie..

[Old Teufel Hunden]

I’d prefer a leftist in their 70’s for the court...

-- Strange "screening" question to ask regarding a daughter with pneumonia. --

It's routine for ten years or so. AFAIK, the answers are prompted by and recorded on a medical chart that is kept "in perpetuity." Doctors make a particular point of asking this question of children.

I answer the question, and tell the doctor that the fact he/she asked it has undermined my trust in them.

[Cboldt]

-- on what basis did the founding fathers decide that weapons should only be in the hands of militia members? --

Heh .. that's not what they decided, but there's another point. If you are able-bodied, if you can fire a weapon, then you are in the militia! The militia is ALL able bodied, regardless of whether or not they have organized and trained in military arts, or even if they have a firearm. If you are able to shoot, you are in the militia.

Registered for the draft? Militia.

The federal courts are completely corrupt on the second amendment. All one has to do to reach that conclusion is read and understand Presser and Miller, then read any modern case. Absolute and total disconnect.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I hate people who lie about the Miller case and claim that it doesn’t protect the RKBA when in fact it expressly said that civilian ownership military style firearms were expressly protected by the 2A.

-- I live in Maine, where everyone is well-armed. They wouldn't dare ask that question around here. --

I live in Maine, and I've been asked. I'm too close to Portland, maybe ;-)

“Do you have a gun at home?”

"A gun at home? No; I have six."
