Yea, AFAICT a doctor can still legally tell a patient with a gun to GTFO in they so choose.

I get the feeling that Krugman is really short treasuries and is getting squeezed.

happens all the time. but yeah stupid law.

I mean the only gun related discussion I've ever had with a doctor involved him wondering why I had a gun on.

My doc is a flaming gay guy on in midtown Atlanta. I was in for a visit and had to drop trow so he could look in my bunghole. I told him I had a gun on my belt and that he shouldn't be alarmed, he wasn't. While looking at my ass he asked why I carried a gun I said "its a preventative measure" he said "fair enough, ok you can pull your pants back up"

It isnt quite as bad here but the solution is to legislate and limit campaign financing.

yeah normally I lock mine in a little lock box I keep under the seat to avoid the impropriety mentioned in the above story, that time I thought I was just going to give an extra blood sample because the lab screwed one up.

LOL

dude your country basically invented mercantilism, just because they give you more bread and circuses doesn't make it any less pervasive or evil.

ETA: McCain Finegold would be a more recent example of how your "solution" will cause more of the problem.
