We need to become a society whose individuals do not carry devices specifically made to kill other individuals ... We need to become a society whose reverence for the value of each life does not permit the carrying of devices to extinguish human life. [More]Oh, look, an anti-gun pediatrician. How rare and unique!
And my, isn't he morally superior in his compassion! Why someone raping and killing his wife and children may be moved to tie him up and throw him downstairs so he doesn't have to watch!
Here, Perry, I made you a business card. No charge.
As is typical with the type who may be highly educated in one specialized field, but dumber than a fifth-grader in others, I see Perry makes the same old ignorant assumption about what technology and developments the Founders would be horrified by.
I wonder if he's ever stopped to think about how many people will die if the state tries to carry out that which he demands, but lacks the guts to carry out himself. By "only a start," it does leave open the question of what he sees as the "final solution."
ALSO: Workman weighs in. Glad to see putting "progressive" in quotation marks the same way we do with "assault weapon" is becoming a standard practice.
I'd have to agree, though, I'd *love* to live in a society without predators, such that my "killing devices" budget could be swapped over to something different.

One common delusion of these people is the idea that criminals and tyrants can actually be disarmed along with the rest of us.

Some of them may actually believe it.
I'm not sure if Doctor Death there is crazy, stupid, or just evil enough to try to gin up more business for the medical profession. In the past couple of centuries, firearms --just like medicine -- have gotten safer, more reliable, and more effective at protecting innocent life. Maybe we should roll back medical technology to the 18th century as well.
