Gun purchase plans in our Federal Budget Bill

Steven Lippmann, M.D.

Our Congress is contemplating a budget bill. Despite political assassinations and firearm-caused violence in schools, and in general, the present version would eliminate certain taxes and purchase regulations on shot guns, rifles, and silencers. If you think this is a productive plan, tell your Congress people that you like this strategy; yet, if you believe this is a bad idea, encourage them to vote against it.
