Senate Bill 432, introduced by state Senator Greg Evers (R-2), is a bill to stop anti-gun doctors from asking children and parents if they own guns and then telling them to get rid of their guns. It further stops doctors from denying care to children if the parents refuse to answer questions about gun ownership. This bill is designed to make doctors practice medicine NOT practice gun ban politics in their examination rooms.
