TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - "Assault weapons" revisited--an analysis of the AMA report JO - Journal of the Medical Association of Georgia A1 - Suter, E. A. SP - 281 EP - 289 VL - 83 IS - 5 N2 - The AMA Council on Scientific Affairs did not conduct a rigorous scientific evaluation before supporting a ban on assault weapons. The Council appears to have unquestioningly accepted common misperceptions and even partisan misrepresentations regarding the nature and uses of assault weapons. This article examines the pivotal issues and proposes a rational approach to gun control and more effectual measures to reduce violence in our society.
