I found this article very odd. Why exactly does a child's doctor have a right to know about guns in the home? Will it play a role in how they care fort the child? On one hand the reporter acts like not wanting the doctor to know is pure paranoia, on the other explains that guns in the home present a risk to children (which I can only assume means the fact could be used to show the child is in an unfit home).
Can anyone help this makes sense?
A federal court has blocked a new Florida law that limited the ability of doctors to ask patients if they had guns in the home. Judge Monica Cooke, a Republican appointee, rightly said that the law interfered with both doctors' right to free speech and patients' right to receive information.
The ruling, which came down last week, struck an important blow for freedom of expression. But it did something more: it dealt a rare setback to a gun-rights lobby that is increasingly using its considerable political power to support policies that have little to do with the right to bear arms and needlessly put innocent people at risk.
