Docs and Guns

In today's online edition of NRO, Timothy Wheeler has an article titled Docs Gun for a Ban. It's about the movement among SOME doctors' groups and some medical journals to paint gun-ownership and child crime together. Here's a quote:


Most readers of these journal articles — doctors and other health professionals — would never know that countless state and local shooting clubs hold marksmanship competitions for young people ages 10 to 20. Unless they had a son or daughter in a club like New Jersey's Delran Junior Marksman Club, they would think that every time a teen picks up a gun, something bad happens. But there are five junior gun clubs in New Jersey alone, a state not especially friendly to gun owners.

Cloistered readers of the medical literature would never know about K.C. Eusebio, from Diamond Bar, California. Last year, at the tender age of 15, K.C. beat all the top-ranked men to win the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championship.


There's much more so read the whole thing. Good story.

If you don't have the means to defend yourself, you might need a doctor. Or an undertaker.

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
