>>>Mary Rita Insley, newly sensitized to gun issues, has since applied for a Firearm Owners Identification Card. But heres what bothers her.
If I purchase a gun, am I then supposed to train my children to lie for fear of the government knowing I have guns? she asked<<<
I love when the leftist bullying tactics have the opposite of the desired effect and inspire citizens to exercise their rights.
As for the question, some possible answer she could instruct her children to give:
1) None of your DAMN business!
2) Ill be happy to respond once you have adequately explained how that question is medically relevant to my condition.
3) Doctor, do you have any guns in YOUR house? Any alcohol? Any pornography? Any copies of left-wing publications?
4) I find it odd that you are asking a child who is your patient to inform on his parents. Did you know this sort of thing was common in Nazi Germany? Are you by any chance, a Nazi?
5) Are you planning on invading my house if I answer, No?
6) Why do you think it is OK to invade the privacy of your minor patients and their families?
7) Are you asking me this because you are a Communist or a Fascist?
8) Do you have any copies of the Constitution in your home? Would you like one?
9) If you tell me which particular firearms are known to cause my medical condition, I will ask my parents if we have any of those.
It burns... it burnnssss ussss....
Excellent responses.
That said, I told my kids to simply lie to them.
(my kids are teenagers and above, so I dont think I have to worry about sending them the wrong message by telling them to lie.) Besides, they have guns of their own.
