The AAP endorses the Assault Weapons Regulatory Act of 2013, and commends Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.) for her leadership on this important issue. “Children deserve to be safe in their homes, schools and communities. For that reason, the AAP has been a long-time supporter of gun-safety policies, and fully supports the Assault Weapons Regulatory Act of 2013,” said AAP president Thomas K. McInerny, MD, FAAP.
