Our guest today is Pradheep Shanker, a radiologist based in Ohio and a prolific writer and conservative commentator who contributes regularly to a number of major national media outlets, including National Review, The American Spectator, Ricochet, and others.  He just published a piece entitled “Guns, Doctors, and Staying in Your Lane.” GUEST: Pradheep Shanker, MD. https://twitter.com/Neoavatara?lang=en (Twitter) LINKS: Pradheep Shanker.  https://ricochet.com/572279/doctors-guns-and-staying-in-your-lane/ (Doctors, Guns, and Staying in Your Lane).  (article in Ricochet) http://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2709820/reducing-firearm-injuries-deaths-united-states-position-paper-from-american (Reducing Firearms Injuries and Death in the United States: A Position Paper from the American College of Physicians) (free access in Annals of Internal Medicine) NRA blog.  https://www.nraila.org/articles/20181102/surprise-physician-group-rehashes-same-tired-gun-control-policies (Surprise: Physician Group Rehashes Same Tired Gun Control Policies)  WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/QTqZNzZproY (Watch the episode) on our YouTube channel.
