Oh, this sets up a nasty dynamic.

Doctor on routine visit asks if I have guns in my house.

I tell him it's none of his business.

The doc adds me to the database, figuring I'm some kind of crazed gun nut.

Thanks, Toomey. You just ensured I will be working for whoever runs against you in the 2016 primary.

Oh, this sets up a nasty dynamic. Doctor on routine visit asks if I have guns in my house.

The correct answer is, "I don't have a gun. Nobody saw my gun. You can't prove anything."

It also sets up the dynamic that people will abstain from unnecessary or even routine doctor visits out of fear that the question would be asked.

It also brings up a very frightening question of being drugged by a doctor for a “procedure” that winds up being a truth serum or psychosis-inducing medication.

If anything else, it’ll lower the number of people seeking “care” under the PPACA, thus handing the Dems, and Obama, a budget “win.”

Just say “no” to your doctor. And lie to him if you smoke. I’ve been lying to my doctors for years.
