My wife and son went to the doctors office for his 1yr checkup. Here is the conversation when she came home...
Her: The checkup went fine, they gave him 4 shots.
Me: Good, so nothing wrong?
Her: no he's very healthy, a little short for his age but nothing to worry about.
Me: (nodding my head) he's only 1, plenty of time to grow.
Her: they asked me a lot of questions.
Me: what kind of questions?
Her: One of them was "are there guns in your home"
Me: (in a worried tone) What did you say?
Her: (a little nervous) I said yes, they asked them so quickly and logged them in a computer, I didn't have time to think.
Me: (in an angry tone) why would you tell them that? They don't need to know that at a doctors office. It's just a back door attempt of gun control by the government.
Her: what do you mean? Don't they already know you have guns?
Me: yes, all the 3 letter agency's know. But this is a different system, our names are now in a database, and if anyone of us ever is deemed unfit by even the lowest ranked Dr, nurse, tech, psychiatrist, dentist, etc. they can take every gun and round of ammo we own. That means if ten years from now you tell your Dr you are depressed and he writes you a prescription for anti- depressants, a little red flag will pop up in a computer somewhere and some branch of gov could come and disarm this house.
Her: (apologetically) that can't be right, I'm sorry, I didn't think/ know what they were asking that for.
Me: (shaking my head) well, no use crying about it now.
So I've got that going for me....which is nice!
