Rep. David Orentlicher has proposed three modest and sensible bills to the state legislature to address the problem of gun homicide that plagues our city...
Restricting handgun purchases to one per month and requiring the same background checks at gun shows that dealers use now are intended to slow the flow of guns to criminals. The third bill would simply give the city the chance to address gun violence without pre-emption from the state. These measures could help reduce the appalling toll from gun violence...
I don't know how much of an impact the proposed measures would have, but if even one criminal found it more difficult to buy a gun, the bills are worth the effort.
So using your logic, Dr. Dunlop, each city should come up with its own patchwork quilt of laws regulating the practice of medicine. We don't know if it will have any effect on medical malpractice, but if it saves one patient's life...?
Does anyone hear a "quacking" noise?
Doc, you're clearly outside the area of your expertise, and as a health care customer, I'm appalled they don't teach more of you guys cause and effect in med school. Your qulifications as a physician notwithstanding, you're simply not qualified to be an authority on this subject, meaning you're incompetent to diagnose and prescribe.
If I'm wrong and you are, prove it. Fill this out and I'll be glad to post it.

Well, we can agree to disagree on this one. I think it SHOULD be mandatory for everyone to purchase a firearm a month.
