The AMA has long stood on a position that guns are a 'national health epidemic', while normal people know the problem is not guns, but violent and criminal behavior. If a criminal can't find a gun, they'll use a knife, a rock, a hammer, a tire iron... are we to make every object ever used in human vs human violence illegal?
Given this stance, it has brought out the zealots who feel doctors should ask about the presence of guns in the home as part of their health screening. Not only is this highly invasive and illegal activity, but it is a violation of our rights as protected by the US Constitution.
Question; if doctors take the advice of the AMA to question their patients about guns, should they face charges for this violation, and further, aren't they in violation of the Supreme Court's Miranda decision, that is to say, aren't they required to provide the 'you have the right to an attorney' and 'you have the right to refuse to answer', as well as 'anything you say may be used in a court of law against you'?
I think the better thing they can do is to recognize the fact that guns actually SAVE lives, most going unreported when the potential victim rises to his own defense and the criminal simply vanishes.
Or do we need to revise ObamaCare, and just like the original mandate requiring everyone to carry insurance, to make a gun a viable and legally acceptance form of personal health insurance, and require universal conceal carry, or pay an IRS fine?
