Gun control was a subject at everyone of the fifty-three AMA sessions at which I represented California. It was always loudly supported, but I and a few others were able to defeat each resolution and/ or amendments. I remember one time having to move for "informal session" and then bringing on the defeat after resuming regular session. I'm not sure why that doesn't work now.
I have several articles on "gun control" --- in fact, a three ring binder [having bearing on these proceedings].
It is a brief and compelling list. The leadership for pediatrics, psychiatry and internal medicine are among the most adamant.
