Your original statement: "He's not stupid...but remember where a vast majority of the nations doctors (he's an M.D.) stand on guns....very much against."

My question: "I might believe that about pediatricians, mainly because they are mostly women, but do you have any links supporting that claim for the rest?"

Here you go: There's a LOT more IF you look! Or here for a comprehensive list. Look for the AMA and others. MORE

What do those references about activist organizations, medical and non-medical, with a public health agenda have to do with the views of physicians as a whole and the Second Amendment? I was hoping for links to polls of physicians. The last time I heard anything about it, the American Medical Association represents a minority of American physicians.

With all due respect, the charters of the International A.N.S.W.E.R., CPUSA, Democratic Socialists of America, ACLU, (BTW, one of your references), etc., tell me little about American public opinion. Have you heard about Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership?

From your link: DRGO has become a nationwide network of more than 1,400 physicians, allied health professionals, and others who support the safe and lawful use of firearms.

Pardon me, but there are more Docs in just the south Florida area than this group has in it's entire nationwide membership! Just why did this organization feel it was necessary in the first place? Isn't the AMA the parent "professional organization" for all doctors nationwide? It is certainly FAR older than DRGO. I am aware of no other journal in which doctors desperately wish to be published for professional recognition.
