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

. . . . . 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.

They have been asking that question for many years, Way way way before Obama became President.
And if they ask they (should) counsel a person on safety because so many people and children are hurt by guns.
I wonder why they don't ask if you have ever made a fist?
Many more kids have been hurt by being hit than with a gun.

I saw a lady on a playground have a fit because a child was shooting rubber bands with their finger, she kept insisting it was a dangerous weapon. No1

Unfortunately, a lot of people would agree. Or, consider it encouraging kids to fight instead of working out their differences in the United Nations.

Violence can solve or end any situation.

Put a footnote that the guns are there so the kids can shoot the rats eating the lead paint.

It seems less draconian when given proper context.

They should ask if there are any 5-gallon "assault buckets" in the home since kids have drowned in those.

If not outright banning, what we need is to require fingerprinting, a background check, and large fees to be able to possess a five-gallon "assault bucket."

If it saves even one life, it's worth it.

One-gallon "assault buckets" are acceptable because they have limited capacity.
