Gun question at the Doctors office

[Bob Denman]

There is a staggering number of suicides every year, and a large number of those involve guns. Gun owners are at risk for a higher rate of suicides. Your doctor is just doing his job and assessing ALL the risks to your health. Besides, those antidepressants work very well.

put away your paranoia and remember that you have a doctor-patient relationship to protect you from the government. That is unless you tell him/her that you are going to hurt someone, then you should be turned in.

:shocked: Wow... :shocked:
:crackpipe:

Last week I had my annual physical and the Gun question came up, it has before, and as always I passed and the doctor would moved on. This visit I was told answering the question was mandatory. I did not ask about the consequences but surmised the doctor would not get compensated without an answer. Any thoughts? I think the feds will try and do gun control through oXXXX care. They are gathering data

It is all about control!!

More people are killed in alcohol related deaths than with a firearm every single year. I have never had a Doc ask me if I had any in my home.
When he asked me if I have firearms in my home I asked him"why, someone need killing?" He laughed and has never asked me again.

I don't believe u need an assault rifle to protect your household,or for it to be legal for a private citizen to purchase one.I do think u should be able to carry a pistol ,holstered & concealed for all law-abiding adult citizens who have taken a course on firearms safety,and have no prior violent criminal activity.No petty "stick-up artist" is gonna be messin with u if he thinks he might get a "cap in his ass"!

Please Define "Assault rifle"... :shocked:
This is a loosely-defined term that is always shifting; depending on just what type of firearms the grabbers are looking to ban... :banghead:
Are you referring to fully-automatic weaponry?
Do need a Federal license to own one...
How about semi-automatic rifles? :dontknow:
If you want to ban the semi-autos; you've just banned an entire class of perfectly functional deer hunting rifles...

:lecturef_smilie: Know your target, and what's behind it!

People who want to ban guns can't define "assault" rifle, Bob.

And the comments starting with "You don't need . . ." are like being a little-bit pregnant. It's all about our "betters" telling us what we rubes "need."

:agree: :banghead:

But I wanted to see what they'd come up with for a definition...:roflblack:

In California.....

We have some stupid, crazy and just plain nutty people running this state
with more idiot laws than you can count however.... I just had my annual
physical and was given a multi page stack of paperwork to fill out, all kinds
of questions on it but NOT ONE having to do with any firearms. You would think
living in California that would have been one of the first questions on the forms.

 

[cuznjohn]

i just thought of something. could the question about guns have to do with the price of the office visit the doctor charges. if you own a gun the price is cheaper because they don't have to worry about being shot over what they charge

If you think that your Dr. doesn't tell the government anything it ask for, you are very naive. My Dr. never ask me anything in that direction but some PAs or nurses ask if I feel save in my home. I live alone with no pets, but I tell them that I suspect that my cat is plotting against me. I watch their reactions to make sure that it is a bit of humor.

But the DEMS are hell bend on taking away your guns, they will use whatever means they can get away with. There are no lead companies in the US any longer, so controlling the flow of bullets is easier.

I haven't looked it up lately, but if I remember, the legal definition of an assault rifle is "a firearm that can mount a bayonet".

[Orange Spyder Man]

the amount of people killed by auto's/vehicles are more than people being killed by guns.. but ... I don't think I ever heard of a doctor asking if you own a vehicle..

Actual assault rifles have been essentially 'Illegal' to own since 1934, with revisions to the law in 1968 and 1986. While true that it is still legal to own one. It is very strictly regulated. You get looked at VERY closely. It usually takes at least a year to get through the lengthy and expensive process.

What the media and others do is continue to characterize rifles which LOOK like an assault weapon, but are not, incorrectly. Most know they are doing this but it fits their agenda and they know most people don't know the difference and will take their word for it.

It is interesting to note that none of the recent mass shootings was done with a LEGAL Assault Rifle. The news media gives a partial truth when saying that the guns used by the San Bernardino shooters were legal and purchased legally. True, as far as it goes. But they purposefully (IMHO) leave out the pertinent part of this story.

The original transaction was a 'Straw Purchase'. In other words. The original buyer was not purchasing these guns for himself. He was simply the middle man, purchasing them for the 2 shooters. This is an illegal sale.

As originally configured, the guns were legal. But the shooters ILLEGALLY modified these weapons making them illegal to own.

But since it is also illegal to shoot a number of people for no reason. It really didn't matter to these shooters that they had broken a number of laws before they stepped into the Christmas party that day. Since only the bad guys had guns that day, it was no contest.

And, by the way, it is also illegal to make pipe bombs. As far as I know, it has been for quite some time.

It will be repetitively easy to get guns out of the hands of honest, law abiding citizens. But you'll never get them away from criminals.
