State police already confiscated veteran's guns over insomnia
All doctors – not just psychiatrists – should screen adults for depression, according to a government task force, a recommendation which opens the door to backdoor gun control.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said that health workers should ask patients questions to determine if they have symptoms of depression, even if the patients don’t initially bring them up.
“The USPSTF recommends screening in all adults regardless of risk factors,” the task force paper stated.

Yup. Just like the Soviets. Anyone declared an enemy of the state was labelled psychologically unfit. Oldest trick in the book. Don't agree with us? you must be nuts! No guns for you!
ReplyDeleteThis will end up being a five question screening tool. One positive and you're seen as clinically depressed by the government.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my doctor has already asked me if I own any guns. I told her that it is none of her business.
ReplyDeleteI'm depressed by the government...D'OH.
ReplyDeleteNever give information on guns to anyone including doctors---I am a doctor and would never ask--and would be offended if someone asked me.. I have instructed my entire family to refuse to discuss anything like those questions. If the doctor persists--just leave plain and simple...
ReplyDeleteMy child's pediatrician made us answer if we owned any guns. We were told we could decline to answer, but if we did, we couldn't use their practice.
ReplyDeleteWhat business is it of theirs, and what does my right to own fire arms have any bearing on my children's health?
This is not good.
How did they make you? Water boarding? Give me a break....you're just another sheep.
DeleteMy doctor asked me if I ever felt depressed. I told her only when I look in my wallet. That was end of conversation.
ReplyDeleteI tell them that I own several guns. A nail gun, a flare gun, a caulk gun and a water gun. Same answer I give to police when they ask if i have any guns in my truck.
ReplyDeleteThe drug companies want more people diagnosed with depression so they can push their medications to the doctor's offices.
ReplyDeleteWhich will make people who need help for depression lie about it. That is bad news.
ReplyDeleteThere is NO law to say you must answer any questions. Just refuse to answer and tell all your family and friends. period
