I'm not sure I agree with this.And please hang on before labeling me a "RINO gungrabber".Doctors have the right to ask you just about anything."Are you a Nazi?"..."Have you ever been to Cleveland?" "Do you bruise easily?"..."Do you own any firearms?".OTOH,you,the patient,have the right to refuse to answer any such question and you have the right to lie in answering any such question.You also have the right to find another doctor.

The fight here shouldn't be with doctors asking the question...it should be against the doctor ever being allowed to divulge the answers...along the same lines as "lawyer/client privilege".And the fight should be against doctors being required to ask such a question by the government.

For some odd reason, you and several other posters intentionally missed the entire point of why there was a court case in the first place.
Odd, but noted.

The “questioning” was a thinly veiled and illegal government attempt to create a gun owner registration list, via searchable private medical records.
Require MDs to have the query on their intake forms.
Require the forms to be entered into a searchable government database.

Nice try, no cigar.
