—DR. LOUIS ST. PETERY, a pediatrician in Florida, where state legislators just passed a bill that largely bans doctors from asking patients about gun ownership. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long recommended that pediatricians ask parents about a variety of child-safety issues, including bike helmets, seat belts and swimming-pool or gun ownership. Supporters of the bill say questions about guns are an invasion of privacy. [via NPR]
