WASHINGTON — Days after the Orlando gay nightclub shooting, a fed-up emergency room doctor from New Orleans flew to Washington, hoping the assault-rifle massacre that claimed 49 victims might spur movement on gun legislation.
In particular, Dr. Jay Kaplan, like many of his colleagues, wanted Congress to lift a 20-year-old amendment that effectively bans most federally sponsored academic research into gun violence...
The National Rifle Association, the powerful gun-rights lobby based in Fairfax, Va., pushed through the research restriction in 1996 after a federally funded study linked guns in the home to an increased risk of homicide...
“It was a shot across the bow warning people that if you do research in this area, [the NRA is] going to come after you and hassle you and make your life miserable,” said Dr. Mark Rosenberg, then head of the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. As a result, he said, “science has been stopped dead in its track for 20 years...”

Would he care to do a little research into “medical misadventures” as well? No? Obviously, not every doctor graduates at the top of the class.
It isn't science that was stopped, just issue driven pseudo research by activists who want to get paid by the taxpayers instead of finding their own funding.
OKAY!
“As a result, he said, “science has been stopped dead in its track for 20 years...”
LOl, the same science like glowbull warming? You libs crack me up.
Just find out who’s paying Kaplan to squawk.
..flew to Washington, hoping the assault-rifle islamic terrorist massacre that claimed 49 victims might spur movement on gun anti-islamic terrorist legislation.
Better.
Ugly city that is
Only place I've had guns pulled on me,
knives pulled on me, and chased by muggers
I had a close friend Raped, Mutilated, and Killed in that city
A city uniquely appropriate for clinic research on violence
Stupid obscure “physician” wants to divert funds to fight islamic terrorists and violence to “gun violence” done by law abiding citizens against criminals
listen up Duc, more people DIE from malpractice than evil gunz you stooopid quack you... clean out yer own house first
More knee-jerk crapola from the antis.
One in five deaths is linked to obesity because our public health professionals were so convinced that saturated fat causes heart disease they dying think they needed to wait for actual evidence, and pushed the country into a high carb, low fat diet.
Turns out they were flat out wrong.
Even more significantly, the medical system has played a large role in undermining the health of Americans. According to several research studies in the last decade, a total of 225,000 Americans per year have died as a result of their medical treatments:
I think they need to clean their own house first.
Most “gun violence” in America is actually black people violence, and the greatest cause of death for young black man is another young black man.
Maybe the leftist doc, who is, darn it “fed up”, should look into that instead, instead of pursuing an agenda that leaves law abiding Americans defenseless.
Guess he’s never heard of GoFundMe.
We’ll study guns and crime right after studying the relationship between black culture and out of wedlock births to crime, drug abuse and murder.
I had no idea that not getting fat grants for propaganda constituted a Ban!. Doctor useless wants a career in political science.
Would this emergency room doctor dare say who is perpetrating 99% of all “gun violence” in his beloved “chocolate city?”
The truth is this doctor just wants a “How to blame whitey for black men shooting each other” study that will be used to ban guns.
All these shootings are “the basketball diaries” fault. In other words HOLLYWOOD. The kids in colombine were wondering if spielberg would direct the movie about them.
When I was in the Air Force, I was exercising daily, playing full-court basketball, riding my bike, walking everywhere, but still gained weight. When I got close enough to be put on the fat boy program, I was put on this stupid regimen. Was working my ass off without working my ass off. Total weight lost over 3 months was six pounds. In the late 90s, I found the Zone, which worked very well for me, and I was able to lose 20 pounds in about a month, without even exercising.
