What role, if any, physicians should have in the response to gun violence is a question not only of professionalism but also of law, culture, and ethics. We argue that physicians do have important roles to play in the larger landscape of advocacy, public opinion, and reduction of gun violence, but that it is not ethically or legally appropriate for them to serve as gatekeepers of gun privileges by assessing competency.
医生在应对枪支暴力中应扮演何种角色(如果有角色的话),这不仅是一个专业问题,也是一个法律、文化和伦理问题。我们认为,医生在倡导、公众舆论以及减少枪支暴力的大背景下确实可以发挥重要作用,但让他们通过评估能力来充当枪支特权的把关人,在伦理或法律上是不合适的。
