Physicians who treat bullet wounds and deal with gun-related deaths were stunned when the National Rifle Association directed "self-important anti-gun" doctors to "stay in your lane."
The Twitter attack just hours before 12 people were killed in a California bar late Wednesday (the second mass shooting in the nation in less than two weeks) triggered an avalanche of angry responses from physicians, other health care workers and their supporters.
The NRA also grumbled in its tweet that doctors were consulting only medical research and other members of the health community to reach the conclusion that guns are an increasingly serious public health issue.
"Half of the articles in the Annals of Medicine are pushing for gun control," the NRA complained.
