Spare me, huh?
Quote:Supporters in the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature and the NRA say the law became necessary when, in their view, doctors began overstepping their bounds in the examination room by pushing an anti-Second Amendment, anti-gun political agenda. The NRA cites several examples of doctors telling patients they'd have to find a new physician if they refused to answer questions about gun ownership or telling parents they should get rid of any guns in the home.
This the scumbuckets in the FLA legislature called "discrimination and harassment." That's bullshit, my friend.

I'm giving you the blue ribbon. Clearly the correct answer.

No, it is not bullshit. It is both discrimination and harassment.

It -is- discrimination and harassment. There should have never been any reason to enact the law, that's anti-gun nutters shame, right thur. Get a nutball law enacted to protect people from your nutballery. Our political system in a microcosm.

Everybody's innocent until they're not!
This is why the gun deaths will remain at crazy high levels.
This won't change unless your constitution changes from where I'm sitting.
Admittedly, naively.

Doctors are supposed to make recommendations for the safety of their patients (and in cases like these of others.) Especially in cases of mental health.
But no, we can't have anything even REMOTELY anti-gun because that would go against the second amendment. It's ridiculous that a doctor isn't allowed to advise people not to have a gun in their household if someone in that household is mentally ill.
Sometimes I find myself hoping that a bunch of NRA members get shot up next time, instead of school kids or people who are at their place or some mentally ill person who kills his wife, his kid, then himself.

Gun deaths, in this country, are -entirely- a cop vs robbers issue. Gun deaths remain "crazy high", Igno.... because, if you have nothing, it's undeniably "worth it". In any case, everybody -is- innocent until proven otherwise....would you change that?

If everyone is innocent until proven guilty why are people locked up in jails until they go to court?

The presumption of innocence does not preclude reasonable precaution. That's why. We could do better, ofc, to live up to that maxim. Not a problem for me, though. I'm the right shade of lipstick. I could murder a motherfucker cold-hearted and await trial on bail as a free man. I'm landed gentry with a steady history, they know where to find me, lol.
No joke, the presumption of innocence is under-appreciated, until you're in a position where you don't have it. I've lived under both regimes. I far prefer the presumption.

Wouldn't, even if I could. Agree.
No amount of school shootings will ever change the gun culture.
Because guns don't kill. Agree.
Only crazies do that! The ones you weren't allowed to question. Agree.
