Are there any guns in your home . . . . .YMMV, FAR

7,409 1,848 July 22, 2013 at 09:10 AM
. . . . . said the doctor to my bride when she had two of my kids in for their wellness visits today. What does that have to do with anything? And the doc didn't let up. My bride kept telling her that she doesn't need to answer that question; so the doc asked it multiple times throughout the visit.

I'm guessing the state (or Obamacare) requires the doc to ask the question. Annoyed

edit: apparently not required (unless your state requires), but they're not prohibited from asking, according to snopes [snopes.com].

Part of Obamacare was to clandestinely collect this information for later benefits denial and documentation for later confiscation. If my Dr ever asked me I would flat out refuse to answer. I live out in a rural area though thank god not a lot of liberals.

I have no issue being asked a question and answering or refusing to answer based on my conscience. I've even had forms for the doc ask me when my last menstrual cycle was...

This:

is even sillier than the asking if you ask me...

And wouldn't submitting this information to the IRS be a HIPAA violation?

They ask the question in case there's a family member with mental health issues. Maybe the doctor saw a pic of you in your hornet killing suit.

I would presume it would. But what does legality matter when one is above the law?

The APA has already classified every human emotion as a mental health issue. Next step: outlaw guns in the homes where someone with a mental health issue lives. The result: anyone who goes to the doctor and admits to having any emotion loses their rights to a gun.

Oh, and she also asked if my two year old had ever had a tantrum. Apparently the doctor had never met a 2 year old. Either that or she needed to write it down officially so he could be declared to have a mental health issue. . . .. at two.

Responsible gun owners know that owning a gun is no joke. When you start joking around with them, liberals get offended.
