Repubs passing laws to prevent docs from asking about guns at home but anti-choice laws ok

They can't pass anti-choice laws fast enough...forcing health providers to show pics of embryos, getting between the woman and her doctor, but don't talk about guns! omg

Doctors, groups clash over asking patients about firearms

Three states are considering laws that would penalize doctors and other health care providers for asking patients or their parents whether they have a gun at home.

The National Rifle Association and other pro-gun interest groups argue that doctors violate patients' Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms by inquiring about gun ownership. Doctors say they ask only because of safety concerns. Prohibiting them from asking about guns likely violates the First Amendment, at least one constitutional law expert says.

Two weeks ago, the Florida Legislature became the first to pass such legislation. Republican Gov. Rick Scott, known to support gun rights, is expected to sign it. A similar law moved out of committee in the Alabama House of Representatives April 21, while another remains in committee in the North Carolina Senate.

out a concealed carry firearm and stopping crime. That is all people are allowed to think about regarding guns in the USA.

... because a doctor refused to treat a child unless the parents revealed what guns they had and how they were stored.

Reasonable to ask but totally unacceptable to push the issue. None of his business. Period.

I think the happy medium would be an NRA approved pamphlet on safe storage for parents if they want to take it.

:popcorn:

wish Dems would COUNTER ALL THEIR FUNDIE LAWS ALREADY!
