You are correct, the government has no business asking about guns in your home...no matter what you have them for. You husband has every right to be angry.
What I think is worse is all these “doctors” willingly acting as interrogating agents of the government. History teaches us that when doctors go along with the government...gruesome crimes against humanity occur. Thinking about the posted article last night about them banning OTC inhalators for asthma sufferers. The banning had nothing to do with health dangers to the patient and again...forced people in to see their doctor to get the prescription type. Why? There is not a good reason for such actions.
The numerous attempts to regulate the alternative health system from vitamins to suppliments all in the name of "safety of the consumer." McCain supported the last round and I did submit rebuttal to the open comment period as they were going after OTC suppliments I use on a daily basis.
The 0bamacare laws are crushing in their scope. But it is important to understand the law with which your nurse was prompted to ask about guns was in the ground laws prior to there even being the 0bamacare legislation. Repealing 0bamacare won't remove these annoying questions.
