Claremont's Dr. Tim Wheeler on 60 Minutes

On Sunday May 12, Dr. Timothy Wheeler will appear on CBS'
60 Minutes to discuss the controversial practice of
physicians questioning patients about gun ownership. Check
your local listings for the exact air time.

Dr. Wheeler, a southern California surgeon, is the director
of Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership (DRGO), a project
of the Claremont Institute launched in 1994. With more
than 1,300 physician-members nationwide, DRGO supports the
safe and lawful use of firearms. One of its major projects
is countering the bad science and ideological bias behind
the attempt to treat guns as a "disease" that threatens
public health--the topic of the 60 Minutes segment.
