A bill is introduced that would bar physicians from asking about gun ownership

A bill is introduced that would bar physicians from asking about gun ownership:

A pediatrician who asks a child’s parent about firearms in their home could lose his or her license or be disciplined under legislation being considered by a Senate committee today.

The bill would prohibit health care professionals from asking a patient about gun possession, ownership or storage unless the patient is being treated for an injury related to guns or asks for safety counseling about them.
