The article ignores the principle reason for the law, which was to prevent using the practice of medicine for the purpose of subverting the Constitution, especially as the practice of medicine is seldom any longer done by private practitioners, but is prescribed by federal and state law.

The asking of children if there are any guns at home leads directly to that information being placed on federal data bases, and thence to discrimination against those homes that exercise the constitutional rights to arms.

There is no doubt that there is a political attempt to equate firearms with medical risk, which is not borne out by the facts. It is a violation of boundary conditions for doctors to insert their political predjudices into the patient doctor relationship.

If a doctor were to ask me if I owned guns, I would exercise MY freedom to NOT speak.

(What business lis it of theirs anyway?)

I’ve already decided if my doctor asks me about this I’m going to lie like nobody’s business about it.

Question: Do you own a gun?

Answer: Shove it up your smelly Obmaa.

I would ask him for details about intimacy with his wife ... it's just as pertinent.

We haven’t seen anything yet. Just wait until Obama is in his second term, (which is probable considering the weenie Rinos in the GOP), and unleashes more federal judicial appointments to legislate from the bench.

Dingbat doctor asked my kids if there were guns in the house. The kids rolled their eyes and said dad’s in LE so duuuuh yeah. They had her pegged as a loony first thing and on their own didn’t answer anymore questions. We reported her and apparently so did others because a short time later she’d moved on.

Republicans need to go on the offense.

Doctors should ask if parents have 'overnight guests' - and how often. Child rapes, abuse and murders at the hands of mom's 'live in boyfriend' are common. Liberals won't like the intrusion into THEIR lives - but it's a health issue - and we all need to know... right? Also, doctors need to ask about illegal drug usage - that's a threat to children. Liberals will hate that one.

The only way to get control-freak mean-spirited liberals to stop this is to do it back to them. Then the press will jump in - totally outraged about invasion of privacy ... and we'll win at the same time.

I would teach my children that they are not to say anything about what mom and dad own.

I’ll get another doctor. His politics don’t belong in my healthcare anymore than do Obama’s, and the rest of the Leftisphere’s.

Another nanny ruling from a feminized judiciary including the bald headed ones too or those with shriveled testicle syndrome—a side effect malady associated with demented liberalism disorder.

Do the patient have to answer?

Apparently not, however...

They cited the example of an Ocala pediatrician who told a couple to find a new doctor because the couple refused to answer questions about whether they owned guns and how they were stored.

So if you don't - depending on the doc - you may be looking...
'Course if your doc's that much of an a'hole, do you want him poking around on your body and making life and death decisions on your behalf?

Ding...ding....ding! We have a winner. I respect the Dr.’s right to free speech and I value the free market system. If the Dr. offends me by overstepping his bounds, I find another Dr.

Simple remedy..walk out the door if your pediatrician asks about guns in the house and find someone else. Also pass along that information to others. These nitwits will soon see their folly in dropped income.
