No one favors people dieing in hospitals.Is the way it appeared in the column? If so, shame on the author, who must be among those who did not find out by the sixth grade that English is an irregular language. The word in this instance is spelled "dying."

Gun violence is negative. Guns prevent more violence than they cause.
