Who died and put doctors in charge of adults' gun safety proceedures? I missed the memo.

I want a doctor - not a nosey and condescending nanny. Doctors have enough of a superiority complex that causes a lot of problems for the medicine and public. We don't need to feed it for them. They tend to think too highly of themselves and too lowly of their patients.

The public should make doctors err on the side of respect given the profession's current trends towards control and the illusion of superiority that pushes them in that direction. It is easy to weed them out and worth the effort because in the end you have a physician that is truly worthy of respect as it is a mutual relationship. You need that relationship when faced with bad times. Some physicians today actually dislike and psychologically abuse their patients for being unhealthy. Some lower themselves to threatening patients with abandonment if they don't do as ordered. Better to find out who you are dealing with up front and see how their egos handle being told to mind their own business.

Who said doctors would be put in charge of adult's gun safety procedures? No-one. People are paranoid like crazy that doctors are goin to be unwittingly part of some anti-gun conspiracy. They just want to provide information to parents to help keep their kids healthy. Prevention, in any medical area is far more powerful and far less expensive and risky than treating someone after the fact.

Going back to the article, the proposed law is an unconstitutional infringement of free speech. The legislature has no right to pass a law that restricts what people can talk about. Everyone on this thread is so worried about their losing 2nd amendment rights that they want take away other poeple's 1st amendment rights. It's disgusting!
