The Huffington Post wasn’t even around when Dr. Tim Wheeler and Dave Kopel exposed in National Review Online the gun controllers’ latest scheme of back door gun prohibition by consumer product regulation.
But it’s now providing the Violence Policy Center’s Josh Sugarmann a platform from which to try it again. Perhaps Huff Po editors are hoping gun owners had forgotten about the old scam. Read what Congress thought of the idea back in 1975, the first time the gun ban crowd tried it:

Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence (CCJ) and DRGO Amicus Curiae Brief in Florida Docs vs. Glocks Law
Here’s the brief from Chapman U. law professor and CCJ Director Anthony T. Caso and CCJ Founding Director Dr. John C. Eastman. The CCJ is a project of the Claremont Institute, formerly DRGO’s sponsor and an intellectual powerhouse in service of the founding principles of America.

Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Gun Control White Paper
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is one of the old established university gun control advocacy factories. Its Center for Gun Policy and Research just put out this report, “The Case for Gun Policy Reforms in America.” In assessing the Center’s bias in matters of firearm policy, it’s helpful to note that renowned gun ban advocate and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg got his name attached to the school in 2001 as a major financial donor. According to Wikipedia he has contributed...

From Dr. Wheeler: Interviews, and the AMA
Last week I did a 20 minute interview with the author of this article (copied below) which appears in today’s issue of the Chicago-based American Medical News. You wouldn’t know that from reading the article, since the author clearly suppressed everything I told her and omitted any citation of my opposing view. The only hint that she even bothered to check out opposing views at all are these two brief, vague, and completely unattributed sentences:

Docs vs. Glocks law protects patients
From the August 17th edition of the Orlando Sentinel
By Timothy Wheeler
Guest columnist
Why would the Florida Legislature pass a law that prevents doctors from asking patients about guns in their homes?
Opponents of the law, now struck down by the U.S. District Court, maintain that the law violates doctors' First Amendment right of free speech. The doctors insist they only want to educate patients about gun safety.
But none of the doctor organizations fighting the law have admitte...
