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

That's interesting, since the ACA prohibits the docs from putting such information into patient files or otherwise recording it or notifying anyone. That'll be challenged toot sweet by someone, hopefully someone who was asked by the doc and finds out that it was reported. This conflicts DIRECTLY with the law, not to mention privacy concerns.

Note that it is also a "boundary violation" by the docs if they advise you to put your guns in a safe. They are not licensed as safety experts, and if such results in your injury (or one to anyone in your family), the doc can be sued and malpractice insurance will not cover him. It'll also be interesting if the docs tell you to similarly lock up harmful household chemicals - and if someone is injured in the absence of such advice, while the doc advised you to lock up your guns.

FUBO!

If any doctor ever asks me about guns, I will tell them to bugger off, walk out of their office, and not pay my bill.

I’ll find a doctor who favors the Bill Of Rights.
