Guess no one considered that the Gov was a tad smarter than the legislators in realizing passing laws to show that you "did something" is a waste of time and tax payer dollars. And the docs weighing in just proves that not everyone graduates med school at the top of the class. One would think they might take up vehicle violence or knife violence or baseball bat violence or fist violence or medical "misadventures".

Medical schools are just schools like any other. They have been completely infiltrated by leftists.

Violence is not a characteristic of guns.

Violence is a characteristic of people.

It was the medical community, and their belief in blood letting, that killed George Washington. He probably would have survived his bout of quincy were it not for that.

They always believe they know best, but make mistakes like anyone else.

I’m guessing that this is some lefty organization run by an activist. I’ll check.

Perhaps if “family physicians” did their jobs and referred patients with psychological/psychiatric disorders for treatment commensurate with the type and severity of the disorder stuff like this wouldn't happen.

I really think it’s great to pass laws that make it safer while, at the same time, don’t trounce on the rights of the individual. However, this is not a federal issue. It is a state, county and city issue.

A medical doctor’s opinions about guns are no more important than a McDonalds employee’s opinion. In fact given the brainwashing in colleges the doctor’s is probably worth less.

"Just as reducing drunk driving deaths didn’t require banning cars or alcohol, we can save lives through preventive strategies that let us live more safely with things that can cause harm."

This analogy needs some consideration and analysis. I don't have my hands around it fully.

The state did pass laws which curbed the consumption of alcohol in bars.

The state increased surveilance of and action against persons driving drunk.

The state did not take away cars, nor did it impair the ability of persons to own and possess and operate cars generally.

“supports universal background checks, extreme risk protection orders, waiting periods, and gun-free school zones.”

All bad but the worst here is extreme protection orders (red flag). Only the worst cases at first, but then we will have the Kavanagh effect.

One accusation by doctor, police, social worker, etc and you’re out. Then off course fbi will be looking at social media posts for domestic “terrorists”.

No “family physician” is going to know from me that I own “assault weapons”.

The remedy for “gun violence” is to punish law abiding citizens? Interesting how leftists want criminals not punished but no such consideration for good folks.

Guns don’t kill people doctors do.

Maybe these docs should think about not prescribing so many psychotropics to boys, just because the female oriented schools have forgotten how to deal with little boys and prefer to have them all doped up. That might be a start.
