It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States

Why are the liberals that want to ban guns not bleating, whining, and wetting their beds about banning doctors, medicine, and medical instruments, which are, according to this article, so deadly?

Maybe it is because doctors, medicine, and medical instruments, are, in large part, more helpful and useful to society than they are detrimental.

Wait a minute...

Isn't that true of guns and gun owners to?

Have you ever heard the story about the SUPER-antibiotic...

you take it and it kills every germ, but if you stop taking it you will die.

In other words, we need certain germs and filth to live.

Exactly so. Like so many other things, they must be evaluated honestly on the basis of costs versus benefits.

As for modern medicine, if it wasn't for that, I would be dead at least three times already.

And the same can be said for my firearms.
