American Medical Association Calls for Nationwide Ban of All Assault Rifles and High Capacity Guns
While lawmakers push for the ATF to go after gun dealers, the American Medical Association is now proposing the nation’s most restrictive ban on guns.

In an unusual departure from its historical focus on health and medicine, the American Medical Association (AMA) is now calling for bans, confiscation, and forced registration of guns. Arguably political, the AMA’s proclamation mirrors the strict gun control measures found throughout the United Kingdom, which critics say are blatantly unconstitutional in the United States.
The AMA is not alone in the fight to wrangle guns from the hands of citizens. Representatives Ted Deutch (D – Fla), Jim Langevin (D – R.I.), and Gwen Moore (D – Wis.) recently proposed legislation weaponizing the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to go after gun dealers. The lawmakers have proposed the Keeping Gun Dealers Honest Act, known in the House as House Bill 6075. Their proposal seeks to:
1.Authorize increased ATF inspections of gun dealers to ensure compliance standards are met.
2.Strengthen penalties for falsifying gun sales records, including longer prison sentences for violators.
3.Add new types of civil sanctions for gun dealers who violate ATF regulations.
4.Permit ATF discretion in issuing gun licenses.
5.Allow ATF to require dealers to conduct physical inventories if more than ten crime guns are traced back to them.
The AMA now wants to expand existing gun confiscation programs already in effect in some states by having the federal government create an “instant” background check database, which would include anyone and everyone who has ever had a restraining order placed on them. Such restraining orders bypass due process as neither a judge nor a jury has decided whether or not the individual poses a threat or is simply the victim of someone with a vendetta or civil case against them.
The AMA now wants all domestic violence restraining orders, including ex-boyfriends/girlfriends to be added to the instant background check database to be run by the federal government. The medical association also wants to keep schools gun-free—negating propositions to arm teachers—and it is presenting specific instructions on how it wants guns to be regulated.
