I agree. I'd love to hear the reasons from some who claim that doctor shouldn't be allowed to ask the question.

Isn't pediatrics a branch of medicine? What does the topic of gun ownership have to do with medicine? If I want advice about guns, I'll go to a gun shop or gun instructor. If I want advice about medical care, I'll go see a doctor. Doctors don't need to play both roles. Anyway, you're far more likely to die at the hands of your doctor than you are from a gun, and statistically speaking, it's not even close.
Maybe doctors should actually focus on medicine instead?

So: Do you think doctors should be prohibited by federal law from asking if there's a gun in the house?

but when the government is paying for it they have all the right to know what you own, drink and poop.

Of course not, but it's still a stupid question.
It's not a doctor's business to know about the implements you have laying around your home.

Your mind really does work in a sort of binary, robotic way doesn't it?
"Agree with Obama, don't agree with Obama, agree with Obama, don't agree with Obama".
There doesn't seem to be anything else going on, does there?

One nice thing about 14 is that we can finally get a good number on how often guns prevent attacks versus how often they result in accidental injuries and deaths. All kinds of numbers out there, but some shoddy science behind all of the ones that I've seen.

Well, this thread is about Obama's executive orders. That is what we're discussing.

If my doctor ever asks me if I own a gun I will say no and ask him if he still beats his wife.

One should look up the Dr's addy and all the dirt possible on him/her before you go in and lay down the law with his ass

That's just the abridged version for the public to see and approve of.
Wait until they come out with the full version of these 23 (illegal/un-Constitutional) executive orders. Each one of these so called laws with ten thousand pages or more of "protections," later to be published.

How much is the doctor gun snitch incentive? Do they get paid per gun, or for every 5 guns outed?

And is that with shrimp, sand flea, or cut bate ?
Your doctor will be asking about the source of that. And about your guns.
