Heller's Friends: The Doctors' Prescription

Leibowitz's Canticle ^ | February 10, 2008 | Leibowitz

[Bob Leibowitz]

This is sixth in a series of reviews of the briefs filed with the Supreme Court supporting the Second Amendment in the historic case District of Columbia vs. Heller.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons was founded in 1943 to represent thousands of physicians in all types of practices and specialties. It has a decidedly more conservative perspective than does the AMA.

Their brief speaks to three points in particular:

* The weakest members of society often need protection from the strongest; * The amici briefs filed by medical professionals supporting the District relied on seriously flawed studies and logic to support their positions; and, * That too many of their colleagues ignore consideration of any comparative benefit that accrues from widespread or individual ownership of firearms.

[Bob Leibowitz]

The good doctors skewer the phony studies and the cooked statistics. They point out the double standards and the false comparisons.

It's impressive to see the Second Amendment through the eyes of Marcus Welby, MD.

If you've ever wanted facts with which to confront a liberal doctor as he or she asks about guns in the house, this is a great place to start picking them up. Heller's Friends: The Doctors' Prescription

Nicely done. Heller’s amici briefs are just systematically demolishing the opposition - and in a manner that will finally put an end to the endless non-sequitor whiny grabber rhetoric.
