There are pediatricians across this country that see firearms as a lethal danger to children. Republicans could not care less.

Dr. Carson is stupid. For a man with his qualifications and professional ethnics to dive into Republican rhetoric for the sake of votes? It is stupid.

He can't run an honest campaign with real promise for the country? He has to pull a Herman Cain? It's stupid and unethical. I take it he doesn't practice anymore. To state children and young people should take on a gunman rather than gun control is highly unethical. He isn't practicing anymore. Retired, I suppose.

The reality is, given his professional status which he brings into his political campaign, he should be demanding the absolutely highest standards for the safety of children and young people. He refuses to stand for human life and it is disgusting, unprofessional and ruthless.

American Academy of Pediatrics Gun Violence Policy Recommendations (click here)

Firearm Safety AAP’s 2012 policy statement, Preventing Firearm Related Injuries in the Pediatric Population, states that the absence of guns from children’s homes and communities is the most reliable and effective measure to prevent firearm-related injuries in children and adolescents....

Enact a strong, effective assault weapon ban;

Eliminate the gun show loophole and require mandatory background checks and waiting periods before all firearm purchases;

Ban on high capacity magazines;

Enact strong handgun regulations; 
and Require safe firearm storage under federal law 

Restrictions of gun laws should begin and not stop until these hideous killings stop. President Obama woke today to another campus shooting when he was preparing for his visit to the most recent community struck by gun violence. This is ridiculous and the Republicans have no moral content in their party when it comes to guns. These killings are out of control and so are the gun laws in the USA.
