Gun owners are going to have an even harder time exercising their right to bear arms due to increasing interference on the part of anti-gun fanatics in high places.
When one goes to the doctor, it’s generally not expected that one will be asked questions about their constitutional rights. For example, if a doctor in the middle of an examination were to ask a patient what their religion was, chances are there would be outrage over such a blatant attempt to intrude on one’s privacy. But since we’re talking about the Second Amendment rather than the First, we haven’t heard anything approaching opprobrium from the media.
Concluding based on criteria known only to them that gun violence is a “public health problem”, doctors across the US have started to ask patients if they own firearms, even when such information has no bearing on the subject of the visit. But of course that doesn’t matter, you don’t know what’s good for you, they do!

Do yourself a favor and just answer No, Dr. I don’t own a firearm.
This is non of their business , it’s just a way for the gov’t to track weapon ownership
not in their best interest to do so. ask him if his wife still gives blow jobs. his angry answer will be no, tell him same with the guns
Here’s what I think of doctors who ask if I own a gun
Well I haven’t been asked and neither have y kids, but if they do my response is its none of your business. My kids response is to tell them to talk to me. Then if they push it will be$#%&!@*off, mind your business. Or I could bold face lie and say absolutely not, it will depend on the doctors attitude.
Just say NO…….It’s none of their business.!!!
A violation of the 1974 Privacy Act! Can’t ask unless they have strong probable cause and a firearm has been used or threatened upon someone’s life!
My doctor has more sense than to ask
Go to hell doc. Thats none of your concern.
Do like I did, I told him “what does that have to do with my health”. He said he had to ask so I told him it wasn’t any of their business. He then said I was being “hostile” with my answers. I then explained that if I do or don’t doesn’t have any bearing on my health and if didn’t like it then get rid of me as a patient. The said I will put down no. BTW, this was at the VA.
