Let us start a thread with a pole and see if the market agrees with this outcome. Then we will ignore discussion within that thread and carry something similar out anyway.

Plus it is a gross distortion of that quote that also does a terrible job getting across the information. Considering how much money they have they should stop having the interns create the campaign material.

Miami federal judge sides with ‘Docs’ over ‘Glocks’ in Fla. gun rights case

A federal judge has blocked the state of Florida from enforcing a new law pushed by firearm advocates that banned thousands of doctors from discussing gun ownership with their patients.

U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke, who had already issued a preliminary injunction last September, made her decision permanent late Friday when she ruled in favor of groups of physicians who asserted the state violated their free speech rights. She said the law was so “vague” that it violated the First Amendment rights of doctors, noting the legislation’s privacy provisions “fail to provide any standards for practitioners to follow.”

The physicians’ lawsuit, an ideological battle between advocates of free speech and the right to bear arms, has been dubbed “Docs vs. Glocks.” The state Department of Health could appeal her summary judgment, which addressed legislation signed into law last year by Gov. Rick Scott.

In her 25-page ruling, Cooke clearly sided with the physicians, saying evidence showed that physicians began “self-censoring” because of the “chilling” effect of the legislation.

“What is curious about this law — and what makes it different from so many other laws involving practitioners’ speech — is that it aims to restrict a practitioner’s ability to provide truthful, non-misleading information to a patient, whether relevant or not at the time of the consult with the patient,” Cooke wrote, citing the benefit of such “preventive medicine.”

Even I've got to LOLgunnuts on this one.

That is just a bit too far.

what kind of doctor talks about guns with their patient on anything than a social level?

what the law banned them from talking bad about guns?

wtf is going on in florida?

[DblBarrelJ]

I'd love to know what drove this to begin with. I mean the only gun related discussion I've ever had with a doctor involved him wondering why I had a gun on.

I told him I came straight from work and that was the end of that discussion.

This is what I'm interested in. What prompts a doctor to talk about guns with their patients unless they regularly talk about personal life with each other?

Uhhh maybe the fact that the guy is insane enough to take a gun to a doctors appointment?

I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure this law wouldn't cover a doctor telling a patient "get that gun out of my office!"

Like joey said, this law is aimed at stopping doctors from bad mouthing guns AFAIK.
