Bet she supports ObamaCare, too.
You ask, we’ll tell you to “None of your damn business” and maybe find a new doctor.
Amen. In the final analysis, only an armed society is one that can’t be ordered to get on govt buses, trucks or trains to be taken to a “temporary relocation center, for our own safety.”
Without our firearms, Socialist Utopians will always fall to the urge to get rid of the bitter clingers the final and permanent way.
Our firearms prevent the Obamas, Holders, Napolitanos and Jarretts from giving the orders for roundups and “population movements.”
And they hate guns for it. Such a little thing, standing between them and Utopia!

Well, in all honesty, Suzanne, we can hardly make what's "difficult for you" the standard for what people should and shouldn't do. The streets would be littered with shoes and there wouldn't be a VCR in the land that wasn't blinking "12:00"! Twit.
Someone on another thread posted a good reply to such Dr.s. questions.
“There are no Jews in my attic”.
Great Post!
The correct answer would be “I don’t believe that is any of your business” before you walk out.
Brilliant. I've never been asked but I will use that if it does happen.
CREEPY_DOCTOR_PING!
Learning about the transcendentalists first made me realise that. Almost every nanny state, big government, environmentalist, white-guilt, “we’re from the government and we’re here to ‘help’ you” movement had its seeds in that group of people (they considered themselves the enlightened intellectual elite and have passed that attitude down to their children and their disciples). They always especially had a love-hate relationship with the South-read the biographies and memoirs of Bronson Alcott. In later years, it’s turned to a strictly “hate” relationship, as they made a point of destroying the things about the South which they secretly loved but would never have admitted to doing so.
Suzie is a brave new world one. Being on front line, cutting edge of introducing Americans to our new “medical” death care panel decisions, she figures the power to control and even kill people with authority, is Utopia. She knows best and she always wanted to be the mommy of America. She has nothing by superior intellegence and intentions at heart.
I think she’s downright sacrificial to offer up her own self defense for the safety of those upstanding citizens full of bullet holes in the city hospital emergency room. The government will keep her safe and on top of everything.

>>> “Do you own any firearms?”
“Why? Got a favorite you’d recommend, Doc?” -and go from there with appropriate tsking. Lettem assume what they will. None of their business & not gonna give them an honest answer on their nosy parker government form. This is obviously an end run around anti-registration laws.
Me: I do not now, nor have I ever owned A firearm. (While thinking "Actually, I own quite a few . . . ")
Stealth registration is my impression too, plus an ever-expanding list of NICS denials.
Pretty arbitrary slice of the data to get these results. Why not children under 6 with young adults between 18 and 24?
I'd see this doctor once.
If a doctor asks me about firearms and its not in the context of wanting to go shooting with me, then my answer will be: “Hey, doc, how much to you make every year, and what’s your net worth?”
I know that the answer will be, “That’s none of your business.” To which I’ll reply, “Exactly.”
Docs who do this are committing what’s known as a boundary violation. Mention that phrase to them, and ask them for the name of their malpractice carrier, and watch them start acting like Obama without a teleprompter. You see, firearms are out of their area of trained expertise, so if they give advice (like “lock up your guns”) then they are responsible for the consequences - AND THEY WON’T BE COVERED BY INSURANCE BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE THEIR AREA OF EXPERTISE.
