My doctor used to ask if I owned a gun till I once said, yeah, I have a whole arsenal and if you don't treat me right, I'm going to come back and shoot this place up. Now I've ben going to him for years; he knows about my warped sense of humor, but then the next time he had to go through that checklist, he didn't ask about guns. When I inquired as to why the question was omitted, he said the regs had changed and he was no longer required to ask. I think he was pulling my leg.
I did notice in March when he went through the checklist with me again, he didn't ask if I was depressed or suicidal, but he did ask if I felt homicidal. I suppose the emphasis on wanting to kill others was in response to the mass shootings, particularly in Las Vegas.
