Bullshit, its none of a Dr's business how many, what kind or even IF I have weapons in my house when I take the grandkids in for a shot. Dr's business is treating peoples afflictions and the prevention of disease, NOT Gun Control
It would be silly to shoot down a bill based on that alone since it wouldn't affect the average law abiding gun owner in anyway, your proctologist isn't going to give a shit if you have a gun or not. The question would apply more to mental health patients and pediactrics.
The pediatrician already has a standard list of safety questions they ask when you take your child for a check up anyway, like do you put your child in a car seat or seatbelt and do you have pets and if so do you leave your infant unattended around them. The gun question would go along the lines of do you own a gun and if so do you assure it is out of the reach of children, not what kind and how many guns you own. With an older child they also have a list of safety questions, the gun question would be along the lines of do you know to never pick up an unattended gun and to tell an adult immediately if you find one.
