This was in the front section of The Advocate today (Sunday 8/12). They picked it up from the AP feed. The byline is the AP chief medical writer, Marilynn Marchione. She seems to have her own anti-gun agenda right from the start.
Notice how the headline states Doctors in the plural? Then the entire article quotes only a single person, Dr. Hargarten in Wisconsin.
There is one obtuse reference to another, one sentence, then nothing else except this one doctor Hargarten - "Dr. David Satcher tried to make gun violence a public health issue when he became CDC director in 1993. "
His angle is insidious because he is trying to pursue his anti-gun agenda by making medical and sociological arguments. He also make some pretty wild claims that are not documented in the article. For instance, "One recent study found firearm owners were more likely than those with no firearms at home to binge drink or to drink and drive, and other research has tied alcohol and gun violence." Drink much?
The article shows that he is trying to make a medical construct for gun control. He presents these aspects:
Host Factors (that's gun owners )
Product Features (no safety belts on guns)
Environmental Risk Factors (gun show loophole)
Disease Patterns ("Gun ownership — a precursor to gun violence — can spread "much like an infectious disease circulates")

As far as I'm concerned, zealotry is the disease he suffers from and it's going undiagnosed in plain view.

I then told her that I was joking and my son doesn't know the code to the safe so he will be just fine. I also let he know that handing out such junk is not going to stop any idiots from leaving loaded guns on the kitchen counter where kids could easily get to them.
