Why Ask About Guns in the Home?

I was asked this by my Doctor, this was after the affordable care act was passed. It was with a number of other questions including about alcohol and drug use. I was told that I did not have to answer, which I didn't, but that my refusal to answer goes into a data base. He said he was now required to ask such questions and report the findings. This BTW had nothing to do with Medicaid.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Police always quickly tell us whether guns used in crimes are registered or not."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

maybe they want to know if people are that rich that they can afford a gun, why cant they pay their doctor bill.To say that crony capitalism is not true/free market capitalism, is like saying a grand slam is not true baseball, or like saying scoring a touchdown is not true American football ...Stefan Mykhaylo D

Originally posted by myth View PostI suppose that depends on what you mean by "registered" and where you live. For instance, in my state, while gun sales from licensed dealers to individuals are documented (same as anywhere nationally) and traceable by the feds, there is no gun ownership registry. Given a gun's make, model, and serial number, local law enforcement can only ascertain whether a gun has been reported stolen or not. You can, under certain circumstances, figure out who last bought the gun from a licensed dealer, but there's no database that keeps track of who owns what guns (in my state, at least).
We do, of course, have Concealed Carry licenses (we are a "shall issue" state) and, more recently, open carry, but it is the person who is "registered", not the weapons. As a matter of fact, I know a number of people who legally carry (castle doctrine / bona fide traveler) but will not do the licensing, because they feel that's just the beginning of a gun registry situation.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Can I answer this since I've been on the Nursing side of things? This question has actually been around for some time. Its on the safety assesment form. No professional Nurse or Physician can share it, but it IS part of determining how safe your home is. (in addition a professional looks for things like clutter, loose cords, your stair case, railings, obvious cracks, whether you have a power strip for multiple items that are plugged in etc. and if you have young children do you have a safety gate. We were also taught to examine if you have food and drink, and explain how to go about obtaining said items) If you were "flagged" for a non safe item a reccomendation was to be made such as a gun safe, shelves for proper storage, where to find good power strips, calling a land lord about a railing, who to contact for food if you need help etc. The information never went out of the office, hospital or in our case clinical report (as we were doing this in clinicals) and yes we were SWORN to HIPAA. The only way we could make any kind of external report is if another adult or child was abused and it had better have been obvious , and only once did this happen the entire time I was in school. There was no "database"A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
