Efforts to place legal restrictions on what physicians and other health care practitioners can and cannot say to their patients crosses an even more important line. Yet this is precisely what Florida and some other states are seeking to do. Physicians may disagree on many issues, including the pros and cons of gun control, but are united in opposing government efforts to undermine the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship, as defined by the Hippocratic oath. While it is reasonable to acknowledge and accept the Supreme Court's recent decision regarding the meaning of the Second Amendment, it is just as important to uphold physicians' First Amendment rights.

The United States has long relied on public health science to improve the safety, health, and lives of its citizens. Perhaps the same straightforward, problem-solving approach that worked well in other circumstances can help the nation meet the challenge of firearm violence. Otherwise, the heartache that the nation and perhaps the world is feeling over the senseless gun violence in Newtown will likely be repeated, again and again.

naahhh I'll pass

CDC has some liberal physicians that look at gun ownership like a disease that needs a cure. In the past the intent was to provide data (that they selected) to support their agenda. It was biased and did not discuss the positive effect of gun ownership or quantify it.

Not unlike looking at a drug on the market and focusing only on the negative side effects while ignoring any actual positive effects. Attempting to draw a conclusion if the drug should be removed from the market without looking at risk verses benefit is unethical.

This type of biased, anti-gun "research" was not subject to the same peer review. When critical thinkers through peer review process observed the trendy type of propaganda that was tax funded, the funding was cut off to screams of MAIG, VPC and Brady Band with others. It was accomplished with folks like you and I, with the NRA assistance on the hill.

This ass clown should stick with pediatrics and leave criminology to students of the area. He is just seeking a bit of fame and will endear himself to groups known for unprofessional research as well.
