A Boundary Violation

Felony for Doctors to Ask Patients About Guns? [Read]

And the "Vote Freedom Firsters" back this affront to...uh...freedom?

I thought they were single-issue... and I don't suppose anyone's brought up that a violation of this would create a new felony crime to create more "prohibited persons"...?

There's a better way to deal with the problem. But I guess since it wasn't invented there, it doesn't qualify for serious consideration.

I WAS going to say no felony, just "None of your damn business!"
Then I read this:

from "The Doctors Weigh In."

I don't feel like being civil today, strangely. Go ahead and have your GP f---ing arrested.

"Ed"--you put this comment under the wrong post:
A doctor I saw a few years ago had questions like this on his Patient History forms for new patients. I left the section blank. When questioned, I responded that statistically (thank you, Dr. John R. Lott, Jr.) my family was more at risk from drowning in a pool or being injured by a physician's medical error. That line of questioning immediately ceased and we proceeded on to discussing the problem that initiated the office visit.

This probably has to do with the anti-gunners who want to portray gun crime as a disease, rather than as a condition of Mans sinful nature. Definitely NOT the good Dr's purview.
