Doctors vs Guns - Statistics

[-SD-]

The central point is that if you reduce the presence of guns in the community, you will reduce the incidence of homicide. Thank you very much.

This solution is the best of both worlds, however, if most gun deaths are caused by illegally obtained firearms, then guns will be obtained illegally and this is all just academic at this point.

Exactly. It's just like anything else that's illegal. People will find a way to obtain said merchandise.

I think we could come up with a dumber analogy than that:

How about comparing hearts to drunk drivers.

You do the math. Having a working four valve model is WAY more dangerous than a drive through bar...

Where is your proof. I've done extensive research on this (I was pro gun control when I started) and found everything to the contrary. Did you read my stat on crimes committed with illegally obtained firearms?

Gun control only affects law abiding gun owners. It does NOTHING to stop illegal sales.

you gotta be a registered arms dealer (FFL license) in order to own the COOOOOOL stuff. i'm gonna have to get me one of those licenses some day when i got the $$$$$ to spare.

I do, at least a canadian license. The license itself is not expensive (less than 800$ a year). The problem is all the requirements related to the safe/vault, how and where you keep you weapons...

Let's try another stat:

How many lives do Dr's save per year vs. How many lives guns save per year.

I'm telling you people this country is going down the toilet because we are becoming stupider every day. People like Limbaugh, Sharpton, Farrakhan and a few select others are spreading poison aided by our inability to think.

The retards are those saying this or that kills people (car, guns, baseball bat, docs, hookers...). Docs save people, guns too, both can also kill. Bottom line is, it will always depend on how you use something. An unqualified doc is as dangerous as a gun in the wrong hands. Should we ban docs ? No, Should we ban guns ? No. Now should we kick out those who have no business in these fields ? Hell yes.

This is why I hate stats. You can use stats to prove almost anything.

I am a gunowner and avid hunter, what blows my mind is the comparison of guns to doctors!
