The article ignores the principle reason for the law, which was to prevent using the practice of medicine for the purpose of subverting the Constitution, especially as the practice of medicine is seldom any longer done by private practitioners, but is prescribed by federal and state law.

The asking of children if there are any guns at home leads directly to that information being placed on federal data bases, and thence to discrimination against those homes that exercise the constitutional rights to arms.

There is no doubt that there is a political attempt to equate firearms with medical risk, which is not borne out by the facts. It is a violation of boundary conditions for doctors to insert their political predjudices into the patient doctor relationship.

If a doctor were to ask me if I owned guns, I would exercise MY freedom to NOT speak.

(What business lis it of theirs anyway?)

I’ve already decided if my doctor asks me about this I’m going to lie like nobody’s business about it.

We haven’t seen anything yet. Just wait until Obama is in his second term, (which is probable considering the weenie Rinos in the GOP), and unleashes more federal judicial appointments to legislate from the bench.

Dingbat doctor asked my kids if there were guns in the house. The kids rolled their eyes and said dad’s in LE so duuuuh yeah. They had her pegged as a loony first thing and on their own didn’t answer anymore questions. We reported her and apparently so did others because a short time later she’d moved on.

Republicans need to go on the offense.

Doctors should ask if parents have 'overnight guests' - and how often. Child rapes, abuse and murders at the hands of mom's 'live in boyfriend' are common. Liberals won't like the intrusion into THEIR lives - but it's a health issue - and we all need to know... right? Also, doctors need to ask about illegal drug usage - that's a threat to children. Liberals will hate that one.

The only way to get control-freak mean-spirited liberals to stop this is to do it back to them. Then the press will jump in - totally outraged about invasion of privacy ... and we'll win at the same time.

Another nanny ruling from a feminized judiciary including the bald headed ones too or those with shriveled testicle syndrome—a side effect malady associated with demented liberalism disorder.

Simple remedy..walk out the door if your pediatrician asks about guns in the house and find someone else. Also pass along that information to others. These nitwits will soon see their folly in dropped income.

Let em ask. Anyone stupid enough to provide information that is self-destructive is a fool indeed.

PA: Are there any guns in your home?
Me: None of your business.
PA: I’ll put that down as a yes.
Me: That was not my answer. If it shows up anywhere else, I will sue you.
PA: Uh....
Me: Leave it blank.

I got another doctor immediately. They are a dime a dozen these days.

(doctor) Lastly, do you own firearms or keep any stored in your home?

(patient) Certainly not. Do you still have sexual fantasies about livestock?

(doctor) Gasp! How dare you!

(patient) Yes or no, this information is relevant to your ability to provide clear and factual medical advice Doctor. Answer the question, are you still engaging in bestiality or not?


Give the overstepping punks a little of their own back. It'll do them a world of good.

All well and good, but who is following the rule of law—the executive branch or glorious AG?

There's a simple fix for this: carry one of THESE FORMS every time you visit a doctor, and ask the following questions:

1. Who provides your liability/malpractice insurance ?

2. What is your agent's name and phone number ?

3. Will your insurance be happy with you when they find you've been dispensing advice outside your trained and certified area ?

Works every time. . .

I and my friends are getting just about tired of Federal judges taking our rights.

The next Congress better use Article III to take out some of these judges, or they are going to be TAKEN OUT another way.

But the judge chided the legislature for relying upon anecdotal evidence like that rather than empirical evidence of an alleged problem.

As much as we could use more resistance to legislating-for-the-hell-of-it, I bet this guy doesn't object to it most of the time. And on this issue, if there isn't a problem, what harm will the legislation do?
