Weird Florida Bill Will Come ‘Between Doctors And Patients’ By Prohibiting Pediatricians From Asking About Guns To Prevent Injuries To Children

~

Now, Governor Rick Scott (R-FL) is expected to soon sign a first-of-its-kind bill that does just that by forbidding doctors from asking their patients if they own guns.

To prevent accidental injuries, pediatricians routinely ask new parents if they have guns at home and if they are stored safely.

"If you have a pool, let’s talk about pool safety so we don’t have accidental drownings,” he says. “And if you have firearms, let’s talk about gun safety so that they’re stored properly — you know, the gun needs to be locked up, the ammunition stored separate from the gun, etc., so that children don’t have access to them.”
