"A policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics 'recommends that pediatricians incorporate questions about guns into their patient history taking and urge parents who possess guns to remove them, especially handguns, from the home.' "
This is a direct result of activities over the past several years by the "Brady Bunch" et. al., operating in collusion with the Center for Disease Control, to manufacture and instill the concept that gun violence is an "epidemic," and thereby induce physicians to solicit firearms ownership information camouflaged as pertinent medical history.
Clever tactic...defacto gun registration and documented lists of firearms owners via their children's medical records. These people are diabolical.
What gets me is the parents that would actually answer these impertinent, invasive questions. I'd be real quick to tell the doc it was none of his business and had nothing to do with the green stuff in my kid's nose. Infuriating.
