I hate to admit it but my answer would consist of some unpleasant things, then I would calm down and say nope, I hate guns.Stupid question deserves a random stupid answer.

And who decides who should and shouldn't have guns?They are asking because, they want to know if you start saying things during a visit that may send red flags up in their thinking they may just prevent another mass shooting. will it work? don't know but if anyone who posted to this thread doesn't understand that we have a major mental health issue and people who shouldn't have guns are getting them and well you seen the results on the news!
They want to take away our guns because it is the easiest way in their thinking to prevent the mass shootings, but what they don't understand, it won't solve the problem which is a mental health crisis not guns, because if not guns , then knives, vehicles, arson, etc. those that are mentally damaged will find a way. notice the last shooting where the feds investigated and took away a gun from the shooter, he still got his hands on guns and ended up doing what his damaged mind for some reason wanted to do, even with him already flagged he still was able to do it. the saddest thing is how the media all of a sudden lost interest in finding out why it still happen. they only want to look at what was used and not why it was used, a damaged person with mental health issues again to hard and costly to prevent and help those who need it.
until they can identify these damaged minds it will keep happening and we as gun owners will pay the price.

Now That’s The Million Dollar Question...And who decides who should and shouldn't have guns?
Be careful with that one in some states. "Abuse" disqualifies the entire household from possession in NJ. A fellow's wife went nuts on him one evening with a knife - IIRC. The police were called and his 3 safe collection was confiscated shortly thereafter.Do you feel safe in your own home? If you are being abused by a mate, that might be a hard question to answer by some folks. Difference between being abused and being "the" abuser. Might be the only chance to speak up.
It may be the guy asking the questions. For over 20+ years your PCP in the state of Hawaii can hold your fate on getting firearms. there you need to apply for a purchase permit for every single firearm you want to buy (no matter how many you already own/have), the PD will send a letter to your PCP asking if there is any cause to deny the permit.And who decides who should and shouldn't have guns?
I've never been so questioned but have decided if it happens to answer as if I'd been asked a question about fishing. If they don't get the hint, I'll just say that I thought the medical stuff was finished and were were now talking sports.As Nancy Reagan so simplistically said, just say "no." If you get all worked up and p.o.'d by the question you will have that negative reaction marked in your medical record.
My Dr. is cool. Her husband and son reload in their living room.
“The Gray Man” is a great book! The series of books about the deadly assassin is very entertaining! Sadly, the left wants to portray all gun owners as dangerous assassins ready to kill at any moment. Today, “Pro Gun” almost means you’re a Nazi skin head. At least, that’s what they’re trying to push.Be the "gray man". Act so common and plain that you will be forgotten. The question and concept of this invasion of our privacy ticks me off too as unnecessary and prying, but in the situation we have been discussing we should just play it cool. We can be internally annoyed by the question, but poker-faced in our outwardly manner so that the medical staff will never know what we have! That being said I have some family members that are somewhat anti gun and I freely express my opinions with them if they bring it up. Even in that situation if we go off the rails it reflects badly on the gun community.
I hopefully read sarcasm there...right?Collecting data for the Government move comming.
Indiana has a Red Flag Law, didn't work too well on the Indianapolis shooting, pretty worthless.Many states have laws mandating the question be asked. Speak to your representatives, especially if you live in a state with ERPO (red flag) laws exist.
Have you ever seen a lifeless kid pulled from the ocean, drowned? Have you ever seen a lifeless kid pulled from a car wreck because a texting teenager hit the parents' vehicle head on? Have you ever seen a lifeless young man dead from alcohol poisoning due to fraternity hazing? I didn't get over those, or any other such scenes.When you take a new born to a Pediatrician, they are required to ask about guns in the home. If you say yes, they will hand you a statement to reinforce keeping guns out of the reach of children.
If you have ever seen a small child with his guts wide open and a nice hole in his back from an unloaded gun, You will never get over it.
Many doctors are conservative and believe in the 2nd Amendment but have lost patients to careless gun handling. If a doctors inquiry makes you think about how you safeguard your guns, you should thank him. He may have just saved your son or daughters life.
