A NYT editorial begins:
A federal court has struck down one of the more nonsensical of Florida’s many risky gun laws — one that banned the state’s thousands of doctors from ever discussing firearms with their patients. There was no evidence that this was ever a problem or a common occurrence, yet the law was enacted last year on the strength of an anecdote from a couple who complained to their gun-obsessed legislator that their physician inquired if they owned guns.It remains to be seen if the Florida voters throw the bums out or are equally crazy.
The court wisely upheld the free-speech rights of physicians.
