Call to Decision (http://calltodecision.com/oudt.htm - broken link)

They have asked me that in the past, and I always told them it's none of their business. Then they tell me they have to ask, and I tell them they have my answer.

Do you sponsor "Eddie the Eagle" firearms safety seminars at your office for your patients with children? Or, do you think you can handle "the facts" as politicized by anti-2A groups better?

This emphasizes the danger of government run healthcare where the government and physicians become nannies assuming they know what is best for patients they look down upon.

I must not be making myself clear.

Everything I've posted on this thread is focused on and directed only towards the OP and the link in the OP - that's all. I'm talking about the 'facts' surrounding the content of the link and the specific case that lead to the legislation in Florida.

I've tried to make that evident in the content and wording of my posts. Since I am apparently not communicating effectively, despite repeated attempts, I am respectfully bowing out of this discussion.

(edit: The usual internet search engines are currently only returning coverage of the law itself. If you're interested, the original case involved a pediatrician in Ocala, Florida 2007 - maybe others will have better luck.)

If a Doctor is going to ask if I have guns, they should ask if I take medicine, do I have cleaning supplies, do I have stairs, etc etc ad nauseam.
