They Just Don't Get It

The medical profession journals, written by people who are supposed to be the smartest people around, are still promoting the tired, old, discredited anti-gun laws that never do ANYTHING to prevent gun crime. They're pressuring Congress to pull out all the laws that have been proven useless in the past many times, and impose them, again. The medical journals are again pushing the idea that "gun crime" is a medical or mental problem, and should be dealt with by THEM, not law enforcement. No law that has ever been made has been effective in halting gun crime, but that escapes these supposedly highly intelligent people. I just don't understand people like that. They are supposed to be in the business of keeping people alive, and to be smart enough to do it. But I'm beginning to wonder if many of them ARE smart enough to keep ME alive, although I've lived a very long time. There are fewer and fewer people alive today who are older than I am. That's somewhat due to the efforts of doctors who are not, fortunately, involved in writing articles for the medical journals. I suspect it is people who are more politician than doctor who do.
