I'm a gun guy and even I think this is bullshit!

In Florida, physicians are restricted from asking patients, or the parents of patients, about gun ownership under threat of professional discipline or loss of license to practice. This law is just wrong.

This is what happens when you elect gun nuts to the legislature.

OK, so the doctor asks whether there are any firearms in the house. Then what?
What does the doctor do about it?
What is the doctor supposed to do about it?
What do you suppose the doctor can do about it?

Well, if the patient came to see the doctor about depression and thoughts of killing, what "should" he do about it?

What the NRA fucks are worried about is that the patient may get rid of his gun when he finds out how dangerous it is to the family it is supposed to "protect." The NRA can't allow that. They like dead kids.
That doesn't answer any of the questions I asked.

They don't even want the doctor to question the gun nuts....which pretty much does answer your question.
