Amendment rights. The argument is embarrassingly lame. Suggesting that someone put a trigger lock on their handgun is not quite the same as confiscating it. Extending the Legislature’s knothead logic, a doctor who promotes the safe use of condoms is violating your constitutional right to acci- dentally impregnate whomever you want. The gun law was doomed in the courts from the day the NRA hacks delivered it. Still, it passed last year and was proudly signed by Scott, generating a swift legal challenge from the Florida Pediatric Society, the Florida Academy of Family Physicians and other groups. In the media, the battle became known as “Docs vs. Glocks,” and on June 29 the docs won. U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke made permanent an order block- ing the law, saying it violated the free-speech rights of physicians. She said the wording of the legislation was “vague” and offered no guide- lines for health-care practitioners. For instance, the statute allowed doctors to ask about firearms only if they believed in “good faith” that the information was relevant to a patient’s care and safety. Yet no specific standards were laid out in the law. The judge said it had a “chilling” effect on medical providers who feared heavy fines or even losing their licenses if they spoke to families about gun safety – a rather serious health issue in Florida, judging by the number of emergency room admissions. Increasingly, doctors around the country are putting firearm owner- ship on their checklists of questions for patients. That’s because, ac- cording to the American Academy of Pediatrics, one out of every 25 children delivered to pediatric trauma centers has a gunshot wound. It’s likely that Florida will appeal Judge Cooke’s decision and try to reinstate the doctor-muzzling law. The governor thinks it’s a dandy piece of legislation, and totally constitutional. His hapless scorecard in that area speaks for itself. Tom Julin, a prominent First Amendment lawyer involved in chal- lenging the statute, recently wrote in the South Florida Sun Sentinel: “The fact of the matter is the NRA asked the Legislature to pass this law to censor doctors who might advocate gun control the NRA oppos- es. Doctors who see children bearing bullet holes on a regular basis can be very powerful advocates.” To do their jobs right, doctors are obligated to ask about anything that might affect the health of you and your family.
