The National Rifle Association criticized doctors this weekend on Twitter over gun control and physicians took to social media to push back against the gun lobby. We speak to Michael Spies of The Trace about the ongoing tension between the two groups and what it says about the gun control conversation.
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. https://t.co/oCR3uiLtS7 [2]
