the shooting and others like it prompted the american medical association to formally classify gun violence as a public health crisis. the ama says it will actatively lobby congress to end a funding ban on federal research on gun deaths. >>> last night in downtown free. , cars honked their horn in solidarity calling stricter gun control. they were denouncing prejudice and easy access toguns. >> we will stand united. we will show the world that love is greater than hate. >> somebody can be considered dangerous enough that they can't fly and, yet, they can go buy a gun. >> gun rights supporters say that more restrictive laws are not the answer to stopping violence. they say the issue that needs to be addressed is criminal behavior. law-abiding citizens need guns to pro they can't tell selves. california does have some nation's toughest gun laws. gun buyers must be cleared through two dozen criminal databases. >>> police in france have been alerted to the possibility of more extremists in france as france is mourning the killings of two police officers on monday. a minute of silence was held r

so we that the support of the state chapter of the american medical association in georgia, as well also the state capital of the national medical association in georgia. so, a lot of support from the business community and the philanthropic community as well. so that enabled to us start what was in the third black medical school in the country. >> this then began the -- your introduction to politics. didn't you ask ronald reagan to, i guess, cult the ribbon or whatever it is? >> yes. >> open the doors to be at the ceremony. >> yes. >> and it was the vice president, george bush, who came. right? and then he asked you to go on a delegation to africa. am i right? >> right. >> and then -- you were interested -- you became friendly with the bushes at that point, and barbara bush is interested in education and reading and all of that, and then slowly -- then when he became president and trying to move on to the -- >> right. >> -- you then became involved in the political side of medicine. >> right. >> thank you talk -- because you were really instrumental in making sure that -- the first woma

and just yesterday the american medical association, the nation's largest association of physicians voted for the first time in support of ending the so-called ban on c.d.c. gun violence research. as a.m.a. president steven stack said yesterday with about 30,000 people dying each year at the barrel of a gun, an epidemiological analysis of gun violence is in fact necessary. and so that's the question which i ask out here of senator murphy. that's the question which i ask of senator durbin. that's the question which i ask the senate president. why can't we find a way to at least fund the research on the causes of gun violence? why can't we find a way to just putting $10 million a year in that research? why can't we do that? i ask senator murphy the question, but he knows the answer. the answer is that the n.r.a. does not want a single nickel to be spent on that issue. and the n.r.a. controls the agenda on the senate floor with a vice-like grip and it will not let it go but we have reached a defining moment. the american people have seen in this one incident how tightly the n.r.a. controls t

this is not a surprising finding given that the american medical association had all said these laws don't make women any safer. in fact, they put women at risk. what these laws did do is force three-quarters of the clinic in the state of texas to shut down making it virtually impossible for many, many women to get the care they needed. if both laws had been allowed to take effect, we would have gone from about 40 clinics in the state of texas to about ten. that's ten clinics for 5.4 million women of reproductive age. how did we get here? the fifth circuit said these laws were okay. it upheld the laws even though there was no actual evidence of medical benefit. they said that didn't matter. they said as long as there was some conceivable rationale for the law, that was enough. in fact, they chided the district court for accepting evidence. and basically said as long as it passes the laugh test and doesn't prevent too many women from getting the care they need, a regulation is okay. how many is too many women, you might ask. texas argued 50%. if it prevented 50% of women who needed an

host: the american medical association recently called gun violence a public health crisis. what are the implications of that over the debate over gun rights and gun control? guest: it is great to see the ama involved. after the shooting surgeondo, to see the come out and talk in a press conference early on. to see the surgeon saying that we need to do something, i think the doctors and medical professionals in general are an important education factor. it is something that is so important. to have the ama come out on this finally is indicative of the cultural change we are seeing. will cultural changes drive the policy changes and vice versa. but you need these type of mainstream organizations, and from being involved for me seven years, the type of allies we have today did not exist years ago. from many come different communities. what is important is that the gun lobby is now being isolated. to one thingback the last caller said about gun owners. i think what we are seeing today on the call line is not non-owners.f most most gun owners support things like background check

the recommendable association -- american medical association has called it a public health crisis. the american society of pediatrics has called for stronger gun laws and research into gun violence and prevention. prevented theas center for disease control from funding research even to start understanding the road to gun violence. as a scientist, i have disgusted -- and disgusted that we are muzzling this important area of scientific research simply because the republican majority in this house is afraid that they might not like the scientific answer, but you do not do be a scientist to know that the universal background check with no exemption for internet sales is a good idea. and you do not have to be a scientist to understand that anyone on the terrorist no-fly list has no business buying guns. the scientific conclusion is simple. meaningful criminal and psychiatric background checks and no fly, no buy.

the journal of american medical association and most recently the american journal of public health. the aca does not stop the health care crisis. americans are uninsured today and 25 million will remain uninsured even if they were to accept the medicaid expansion. millions more have some skimpy hollowed out coverage. 255% in the gone up last year. and deductibles average 3060 $4000 per person. when we were both professors at harvard, we found medical of 62% ofre the cause personal bankruptcies and the majority of the medically lying corrupt -- medically bankrupt had private insurance that failed to protect them. the consumer financial protection bureau reported unpaid medical bills are by far and are common that's running -- are ruining the credit scores of millions of families. been forced into narrow network ensures that limits the choice of doctors and hospitals. medicare for all would assure everyone a free choice of doctrine hospital. health and equality are soaring. the wealthiest american men live on average 15 years longer than the poorest. meanwhile the life expectancy gap

journal of the medical american association pointing out that one third of all prescriptions filled in the office are inappropriate and unnecessary, so even doctors are being slow to change, so we need other measures other than just education. i'm not against educating doctors, the public about the importance of stewardship of these antibiotics and not using them when you have infections, but i think it is necessary but not sufficient. we need stronger action. let me just remind everyone, over the last three years or four years, we have had repeated issues with infectious diseases. the 1960's,in 1970's and early 1980's, infections, we have them covered . then we had the age epidemic, ebola, zika virus, and out antibiotic resistance superbugs. we are not out of the woods about infectious diseases, and i do think you need to take a very different view of them, and we need to be much more strategic about how we approach them, so vital.on is absolutely educating the public, doctors about the appropriate use of antibiotics. like i said, necessary but not sufficient. we need to do more an
