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!

Next time your Dr. Ask you about something as personal as owning a gun? Ask your Dr. this question. Say hey Dock did you graduate first in your class all the way through medical school. If your Dr. says no. Then tell your Dr he or she just answered their own question.
first that ever asks me will need a doctor
none of their business
This is legit. I have been asked at my Dr. Office.
None of your business!?
its best they keep that question to themselves
You don’t have to answer anything. Just tell them why you are there. Those “surveys” are to keep track of us. Just put no on every line.
They probably have more than anybody.
Hospitals, prompted by licensure regs and/or accrediting standards (TJC), already ask a plethora of questions, such as race,ethnicity,religion, ever use drugs, feel unsafe at home, any suicidal thoughts etc. Adding gun ownership will allow another dimension of electronic medical record profiling.
