Subdeacon Joe Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 http://www.jpands.org/vol18no3/orient.pdf 77 Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Volume 18 Number 3 Fall 2013 ABSTRACT Organized medicine is joining with the Obama Administration to demand restoration of funding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for research on “gun violence” and to work for legislation that includes universal background checks, on the rationale of improving public safety. Firearm-related fatalities, which combine gun suicides and gun homicides, are shown to correlate with the “legislative strength score,” defined by gun control advocates. This association holds only for gun suicide, not for homicide, and depends on selection of jurisdictions. Reliance on flawed public opinion surveys, misstatements about the current background check system, and use of emotional, inflammatory rhetoric belie the claim that the case for gun control is supported by “evidence-based medicine.

Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I had thought this organization, along with the AMA, have been long time advocates of gun elimination. Looks like we can expect more slanted surveys. Well, they can be easily debunked when not correctly performed. Link to comment
