Kids and Guns: Why Doctors Have a Right to Know

[Gameface]

Children are so much smarter than adults give them credit for. Some people would be astounded at the response from children if you treat them as a person and not a dog.

I'm really starting to appreciate non-sequiturs.

One Brow, I was speculating as to what the information might possibly be used for and asking others to help me make sense of this.

I gave a perfectly reasonable, direct answer that you have not responded to.

According to the CDC, in 2007 (the last year for which data is available), 17 children aged 0-4 were killed in accidental shootings. I did not look up the numbers for pools. I can say that I have had more than one pediatrician ask me if we had a pool, and I never suspected it was for the purp0ose of reporting me to CPS or the local equivalent.

do doctors also ask about perverted predatory uncles. those are also a health risk.
they can damage a child mentally and phswycially. they are a bigger threat than guns and pools

What if you have a pool gun?

Super deadly.

I hear that thing goes out and abducts kids all by itself so it can shoot kids while they drown.

And just for the record, I happen to be a gun owner myself. Not only do I believe in my right to keep and bear arms, I believe in my right to leave them lying all around the house in places where I can get to them at a moments notice, if need be. This doesn't present a problem for me, as I keep my kids locked up at all times, and only I have the key....

LOL, thanks for a good laugh, rep points are due at the earliest opportunity.
