Celebrity doctor and Pennsylvania senatorial candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz is taking fire from gun-rights advocates for articles he published in 2017 and 2019 that advocate for gun control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republican candidate\u2019s byline is on the editorials, but he denies writing them. The \u201cYouDocs\u201d syndicated column was co-written by Oz and his business partner, Dr. Michael Roizen. Oz claims that Roizen was the primary author of the articles, and Roizen confirmed in a letter<\/a> to Fox News<\/em> that Oz\u2019s involvement was \u201cminimal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The articles in question advocate for an \u201cassault weapon\u201d ban, red flag laws, New Zealand-style gun buyback programs, universal gun purchaser licensing, and mandatory waiting periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One article<\/a> from July 2019, for example, characterizes state restrictions on semi-automatic rifles as \u201cgood news\u201d and calls for a reinstitution of the nationwide ban on such firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another article<\/a> from 2017 repeats the false claim that \u201calmost every gun owner in the U.S. supports tighter gun laws\u201d and describes those who legally carry a concealed firearm as \u201cscary!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust think how many lives strict background checks and tighter automatic weapon, magazine and ammunition regulations could save without impinging on anyone’s rights,\u201d Oz and Roizen write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone is buying Oz\u2019s claim that he didn\u2019t know or support the content of the articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s most striking about this is that Oz thinks that Pennsylvania Republicans are dumb enough to buy this nonsense,\u201d said<\/a> Arthur Schwartz, a Republican operative. \u201cNo one actually believes that he was so offended by the content of these columns that he waited until he was running for senate in a Republican primary to disown them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pennsylvania chapter of Gun Owners of America posted an article on their Facebook page<\/a> quoting Schwartz\u2019s comment. They also released a statement<\/a> of their own on the social media platform: \u201cDr. Oz tries to disavow gun control articles. If his name is on them, they are attributable to him, regardless of who actually penned them. If Oz didn’t support what was written, he should never have co-authored them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of the eight comments underneath the post defend the doctor. \u201cHe can deny all he wants. I still don’t trust him. Won’t be voting for him, either. He needs to go back to New Jersey and stay there,\u201d one comment reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oz\u2019s opponents in the GOP primary have jumped on the opportunity to slam the doctor. Dave McCormick, the leading Republican candidate in the race, said in a statement that Oz \u201chas a long public record and history of being enthusiastically anti-Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has supported red flag laws and sided with extreme left gun grabbers to try to take away guns from Americans,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cNow Mehmet is hoping PA voters will forget he is anti-gun and the fact he will not support our constitutional right\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pennsylvania primary election will take place on May 17th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
