[Neighbors] The AMA calls for enabling research into gun violence

[Sally Beers via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

Jack,
I tend to disagree with you. 

Albuquerque has gun violence problems and we should be open to new ways of curbing them.

I am thankful for Zach's post and feel his input is exactly the kind of issue I want to hear from my neighbors.

Respectfully,
Sally Beers

 President
 Obama's Surgeon General is using the AMA as a back door
 means to grab guns.  There is no need to bring this
 political issue into our neighborhood e-mail nor bother Pat
 Davis with this.  I'm not sure what the point of this
 e-mail is.
 Thanks,Jack

 Pat, Neighbors,
 
 I can appreciate
 that there are many opinions out there on gun rights and on
 the causes of gun violence.  It would seem to me that the
 American Medical Association's call for allowing
 government researchers to be allowed to study the causes of
 gun violence is highly sensible, and could be supported by
 many across the political spectrum. Currently the federal
 government is forbidden from funding research into gun
 violence, leaving us all to lean on anecdote and our own
 necessarily limited individual experiences rather than
 shared deep insight. 
 
 The AMA put out the following statement
 today:
 
 "With approximately 30,000 men,
 women and children dying each year at the barrel of a gun in
 elementary schools, movie theaters, workplaces, houses of
 worship and on live television, the United States faces a
 public health crisis of gun violence. Even as America faces
 a crisis unrivaled in any other developed country, the
 Congress prohibits the CDC from conducting the very research
 that would help us understand the problems associated with
 gun violence and determine how to reduce the high rate of
 firearm-related deaths and injuries. An epidemiological
 analysis of gun violence is vital so physicians and other
 health providers, law enforcement, and society at large may
 be able to prevent injury, death and other harms to society
 resulting from firearms."
 
 Best regards,
 Zach
