MEMPHIS, Tenn. (FOX13) -
It seems like everyone has something to say about President Obama’s gun control proposal, even doctors and pediatricians.
The American Association for Pediatrics (AAP) released a statement on their website applauding the president’s efforts and for considering their recommendations, especially when it came to allowing doctors to ask patients if there is a gun in their home.

“We must place a renewed emphasis on improving gun injury and violence research,” said Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Assn. Benjamin called the president’s proposal “a real opportunity to make long-lasting progress on reducing gun violence.”

Regime Deputizes Gun-Snitch Doctors
January 16, 2013
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Among the things that the president has announced today — well, he didn’t announce them all, but I have them. I have a summary, and I have the full list, 23 Gun Violence Reduction Executive Actions, 23 of them. One of them is involving doctors. Obama asks doctors to help deal with guns, and here is the key language in this. “Preserve the rights of health care providers —” i.e., doctors “— to protect their patients and communities from gun violence. We should never ask doctors and other health care providers to turn a blind eye to the risks posed by guns in the wrong hands. Doctors and other mental health professionals play an important role in protecting the safety of their patients and the broader community by reporting direct and credible threats of violence to the authorities.”
