Consistent with its health-screening requirements referred to by the Chesbro bill, the AAP also includes a sweeping gun-control proposal in its list of model legislation. Titled the "Protection of Children from Handguns Act," one measure states that, "except in the hands of law enforcement officers or others specifically authorized by law, handguns serve no legitimate or lawful purpose, and constitute a hazard to the public health and welfare of the people, and especially of the children, of this State. [O]nly the prohibition of the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns will remove handguns from the homes and streets of this State, thereby reducing the risks of injury and death to children from handguns." - World Net Daily
Once again we have ourselves a bunch of Liberal Utopia-dwellers who think they can make the problem go away with laws. They will never regulate the black market. I don't know why, with all the brilliance and education they supposedly possess, they cannot figure out this simple fact.
The AAP needs to get a grip. They have apparently made it their mission to disarm all of us, in 'the name of the children'. Trauma kills and injures far more children each year than firearms do. Why isn't the AAP lobbying for built in car seats for new cars, car booster seats for larger children, bicycle helmets, etc, etc?
