From the ABA link:

“The law says physicians should not ask whether a patient or patient’s family owns guns, unless the physician has a good-faith belief that the “information is relevant to the patient’s medical care or safety, or the safety of others.”

Considering that the shooter had been recently admitted to a mental facility in addition to showing other signs of being mentally impaired, the “Docs vs Glocks” law wouldn’t have applied to him.

Correct. In a case like this that law would not apply. In fact, Florida changed its laws two years ago to make disarming someone in this sort of mental state easier.

Considering that the penalty for asking the question (just asking the the fucking question) when “inappropriate” is loosing your license, most physicians are just going to skip asking about guns rather than risk their livelihood.
