Gun Control Science Misfires
Thursday, April 12, 2001
By Steven Milloy
Gun control advocates used to claim that more guns meant more crime. Research demonstrated, though, that more guns meant less crime. As the criminology argument faded, gun control advocates began arguing guns were a public health problem.
But the public health argument is also bankrupt, according to Miguel A. Faria Jr., M.D., editor of the Medical Sentinel, the journal of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Faria lays out his reasoning in the Spring 2001 issue.

New Study Finds that Media Unduly Connects Youth to Crime and Violence; People of Color are Overrepresented as Perpetrators, Underrepresented as Victims
Washington, DC- Depictions of crime in the news are not reflective of the rate of crime, the proportion of crime which is violent, the proportion of crime committed by people of color, or the proportion of crime committed by youth, according to a new study released by Building Blocks for Youth.

Gun-related deaths in the United States have fallen to their lowest level in 35 years, according to researchers.
Researchers from the Centre for Disease Control in Atlanta, found that deaths by shooting fell by 25% between 1993 and 1998, while injuries caused by firearms were down by half.
An outstanding alternative to the AMA
(which by the way first and formost stands for the American Motorcyclist Association, not the commie anti-gun American Medical Association)

Most gun violence studies of the past two decades are based on flawed methodology and unduly influenced by political agendas, leading to biased and incorrect conclusions..
Those are the findings of a new two-part paper published in the Spring issue of THE MEDICAL SENTINEL, The Official Journal of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, special edition titled "Doctors and Guns (Part II) -- A Failure of the Public Health Model."
