American Medical Association Endorses Stricter Gun-Control Policies

The American Medical Association voted Tuesday to endorse several gun-control policies, including a ban on assault weapons during a policymaking meeting. Other policies the organization endorsed include gun purchase bans for people under 21, firearm registration, licensing and safety course requirements, and measures that make it more difficult for people with domestic-violence convictions to obtain guns.
