I am coaching my children to not talk about guns we own, keep in the house, shoot, etc.
They are to say to doctor or anyone else if asked, “I don’t know. You should ask my parents.”
“But there is public confusion about whether federal law prohibits such reports about threats of violence”
I am assuming that CDC along with anti-gun medical associations will eventually define “threat of violence” as the condition of owning a firearm.
“Protect the rights of health care providers to talk to their patients about gun safety:”
I believe that every doctor who wants to talk to a patient about gun safety should be certified to do so by the NRA.
Every doctor should be as comfortable with a pistol, rifle, shotgun and have familiarity with their anatomy, physiology and safe handling before they can assess patients about it.
After all, we have to be certified to practice our medical speciality, and also have to be certified in Child/Domestic Abuse and Infection Control as a prerequisite for our licensure.

“I am coaching my children to not talk about guns we own, keep in the house, shoot, etc.”
We don’t talk about them anymore either - well maybe to other known gun owners - but never in general conversation anymore.
Sadly - Amerika is now at the point where patriots have to practice op-sec with other Americans - sad.
Pretty soon we will all be talking like lawyers: “Doctor, I respect your 1st Amendment rights, but in order to protect my 2nd Amendment rights I exercise my 5th Amendment rights.”
