The AMA, Ethics and Gun Control (Part II)

(from ammoland.com)
[Ed: This is the second part of Dr. Faria's series, originally published at Newsmax.com on May 15, 2001. The double-standard held by the AMA and its organs about using its position "for political purposes" is remarkable. See Part I here.] I was struck one particular morning when I heard on the radio on January 15, 1999, that the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), George D. Lundberg, M.D., had been fired by the AMA for using JAMA for his own political purp...

Another Failure of Peer Review at JAMA

You don’t have to be a trained statistician or criminologist to get published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) if you’re on message about guns, judging from this new anti-gun advocacy article. The editors at one of America’s leading medical journals have been clear for years on what they want readers to think about guns—private ownership of firearms should be banned. (more…)

Organized Medicine Continues to Scorn Gun Owners

(from examiner.com)
[Editor’s Note: The following article was published by The Hill and is republished here with permission.] I’m a longtime member of the American Medical Association and of my specialty organization, the American Psychiatric Association.  Without their activism, the medical profession would long ago have been reduced to an over-regulated trade, patient rights would be much less respected, and diagnosis and treatment guidelines would be less well validated. I’m also chronically disappointed i...

The AMA, Ethics and Gun Control (Part I)

(from medscape.com)
[Ed:  Dr. Faria originally published this two part article at Newsmax.com on May 3, 2001.  We felt it well worth reprinting.  The story is 15 years old, but the plot is the same in 2016, only more so, with the AMA's recent decision to increase its gun control advocacy.  Part II will follow.] The AMA is joining the gun prohibition movement in full force. Led by the long-time speaker of the AMA's House of Delegates, now president-elect, organized medicine has joined the gun control movement...

Organized medicine’s answer to the Orlando mass murder: Deception and control

(Internet meme)
Another “mass shooting” in America! That is what politically correct media and politicians are saying. They don’t want to admit that a terrorist attack is much more than a mass shooting.  They refuse to see that hate based on race, religion, sexual preference or political belief has nothing to do with the weapons used to inflict that hate on innocent people.  They ignore the fact that the policies they propose will not change the worldwide war ISIS is waging on everyone who does not belie...

Early Lessons of the Orlando Terrorist Attack

Being able to say “I told you so” isn’t always a good feeling.  But as authorities begin sorting out the details of the Orlando terrorist attack, some things are obvious. The first point is that we knew this was coming.  While there has been a steady stream of small, Islamist-inspired incidents over the last four decades, the ferocity of the attacks has been increasing, as evidenced by the mass murders at Fort Hood and San Bernardino.

Crazy Things Anti-Gunners Say About Concealed Carry on Campus

(from: ragingelephantsradio.com)
The concept of allowing those with a concealed carry permit to carry their guns on campus is getting a lot of press lately, mostly because it drives gun-hating academics crazy.  Here’s my take on a few of the many anti-gun shibboleths hurled at the idea of campus carry: There will be shootings over minor disputes and drunken students shooting up the campus:  This is likely a case of anti-gunners projecting their own college behavior onto others.  I smile at this one, because it reminds me...
