Doctors have every right to question gun ownership. There's only a problem if they're required to by the government. Otherwise, one just finds another doctor.

But, please, let's not go on a campaign to forbid them to ask about it.

Doctors have every right to question gun ownership

Doctors have every right to question gun ownership.

It is an ethical boundary violation for them to ask.

“A boundary violation takes place when a physician breaches the patient’s trust and uses his authority to advance a political agenda.”
