In keeping with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ apparent policy to “Never Let a Tragedy Go to Waste”, it only took 24 hours for their statement about the Florida high school shooting to hit my inbox.

Once again, Organized Medicine is trotting out the dog and pony show about “gun violence” being a “public health problem”, and the media is […]
