The UW family practice residents conducting the gun safety study made the following recommendations:
All gun purchases should have background checks and waiting periods.
All gun owners, not just hunters, should have safety training.
All guns should be stored in a safe, locked place where children and people other than the owner can't reach them.
Gun manufacturers should be required to put safety devices, such as trigger locks, on all guns they sell.
All physicians should be trained to ask their patients if they own guns and to counsel patients on gun safety in a non-judgmental fashion.
I wonder how the doctors conducting this "study" would answer
these survey questions.
I wonder how many would be willing to accept
personal liability should their advice result in tragedy.
UPDATE: I just noticed that the date on this linked piece is "May 10, 2000," but Google News search says: "uwnews.org, WA - 15 hours ago." Beats me why they're recycling old stuff--maybe they figure if they repeat themselves enough times they might get some attention?
