Okla. panel OKs bill to prohibit questions on guns
February 20, 2013 01:07 GMT


OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- An Oklahoma legislative committee has approved a proposal to prohibit health care providers from asking patients if they own guns.

The newly formed Oklahoma House States' Rights Committee narrowly cleared the measure by a 7-6 vote Tuesday. It was proposed by Oklahoma City Republican Rep. Sally Kern.

Kern says the federal health care overhaul forces doctors to ask their patients if they have guns.

The federal health care law has been the subject of intense conservative criticism since its passage in 2010. Interest in gun rights and legislation also has spiked recently after a shooting rampage at a Connecticut elementary school left 20 children and six adults dead last December.

Kern's bill would exempt mental health care providers. My Feedback: http://www.okshooters.com/showthread.php?96230-pinkhamr

I'm all for this one.
Warren Clinic does this. I answered the "do you have firearms in your house?" With "No, they're all on me". My doctor thought it was funny, the nurse not so much

My answer was "all of them but one"

Holy crap. Something from Rep. Kern that I can support. Weird.

First: Good.

Second: Oh lookie, Kern figured out that pro-2A bills are a political winner.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

I also had to fill out paper work at a Dr office the other day. It didn't ask about guns, but it did have two questions that I thought were odd. The first was "are you a minority" I answered, none of your business.
Second question was "are you Hispanic, or American Indian" I also answered, none of your business.

Don't know if this is some obamacare crap or what.

It is. I went to the eye doc in December and they asked about my birth order. I asked about the question and the assistant rolled her eyes and said "obama care".
