In an effort to protect the constitutional rights of gun owners in Tennessee, lawmakers have filed a bill that would prohibit healthcare providers from asking patients if they own firearms.
The bill, filed by Rep. Ed Butler (R-Rickman), is intended to protect the rights of Tennesseans who seek medical care from being “discriminated against,” according to the lawmaker.
