The problem with Murthy, rather, is his position on guns. Namely, he thinks one of the questions doctors should ask patients during a routine medical history is whether the person has any guns in his home.
Investors.com notes that Murthy, 36, is president and co-founder of Doctors for America, an anti-gun group that advocates making gun control a facet of the practice of medicine.
His group, which has been dubbed “Docs vs. Glocks,” has pushed Congress to ban “assault” weapons and “high-capacity” magazines.
He also wants to spend more tax dollars on more research to prove that fewer guns mean a lower crime rate, despite the fact that a number of reputable studies prove the opposite.
In a preliminary hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Sen. Lamar Alexander asked Murthy about his social media comments on firearms, such as a tweet before the 2012 presidential election that included the odd claim that “guns are a health care issue.”

IMHO - If obamacare holds, and the leftist agenda continues on such as the approval for this surgeon general, your medical conditions will be taken into account for whether you can get a gun or not. The left has been working on this for a few years now. (Feeling depressed? Using medication that might have some sort of side effects? Etc etc?) This is why many doctors are already asking if you own a gun. Thomas Jefferson said - Free men do not need permission to bear arms.
