When people use the word “Floridiot” they’re talking about people who make stupid laws like this. It’s going to be a painful period for Floridians who were on the losing side of recent elections. This is just nuts.

The Florida state legislahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifture has passed a bill that would make it illegal for pediatricians and other physicians to ask patients or their parents whether they have guns in their home.

Pediatricians often ask the question at initial well-child visits as a platform to discuss how to safely store guns in the home in order to prevent accidental shootings.

But under the law — expected to be signed soon by Florida’s governor — doctors would face a $500 fine for inquiring about gun ownership and recording it in a patient’s medical record. That fine would increase if a physician asked about guns at more than one visit.
