This is the primary rule of medicine: First, do no harm. 

Modern legislators would do well to heed these words. The legislature is to society as a physician is to the patient. If a physician ignored the side effects of medications like today's legislators ignore the side effects of their legislation, the physician would be accused of malpractice. We accuse today's legislators (with rare exception) of legislative malpractice. Many of the ills that are so obvious in our society are a direct result of the unintended consequences of previous legislation. Their misguided solution? More laws!

Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws was born to provide doctors, patients and the American citizenry with a voice of reason amidst an alarming outpouring from unreasonable doctors turned anti-Constitution politicians. Our mission serves the purpose of correcting many mistakes being made by our peers under the banner of "political correctness."
