Ahh, Floridians and their firearms.
Doctors in Florida can (again) lose their license and face up to $10,000 in fines for just asking questions about a patients firearms.
The action reversed a 2012 injunction issued by a federal judge in Miami, who ruled that the Florida law violated the free-speech rights of physicians to counsel their patients about health-related matters. The appeals court panel voted 2 to 1 to uphold the Florida law.
A dissenting Judges opinion; Simply put, the Act is a gag order that prevents doctors from even asking the first question in a conversation about firearms, Judge Wilson said.
The Act prohibits or significantly chills doctors from expressing their views and providing information to patients about one topic and one topic only, firearms, he said.
