A federal appeals court’s reasoning that a state’s “compelling interest” in protecting its citizens’ Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms outweighs the First Amendment rights of physicians seeking to inquire about their patients’ firearm ownership is “preposterous,” attorney Douglas Hallward-Driemeier, of Ropes & Gray in Washington, told me in reaction to the latest opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in a closely watched case known popularly as “Docs v. Glocks." |

Ridiculous.
The issue is that physicians who ask these questions are philosophically anti-gun, and exact penalties on those patients who admit gun ownership, such as terminating service, or cataloging gun owners who have been their patients via their personal medical records, which are then available to the federal government.
This is NOT a First Amendment issue; it is a civil rights discrimination issue. |

TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
