thedailyfeed: GUN FIGHT. Florida lawmakers want to prevent pediatricians from talking with parents about guns in the home, a move that both doctors and public health officials call crazy and dangerous. The proposal, which has passed both legislative houses and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott, penalizes pediatricians who inquire about gun ownership or possession, unless that information is “relevant to patient’s medical care or safety or safety of others.” Doctors are also prohibited from recording firearm ownership information in a patient’s medical record.
