Outing a psychiatry professor as anti-gun

Summary

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) published an article by Lee Williams, critiquing University of Michigan psychiatry professor Brian M. Hicks, PhD, for allegedly publishing 'anti-gun propaganda' as legitimate research in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The article highlights Hicks's recent work, "Prevalence of Thoughts of Shooting Others Among US Adults," and past social media posts, suggesting a bias that JAMA reportedly fails to disclose. It also notes Hicks received a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) for firearm injury and mortality prevention research.
