“American criminologists rated the following policies most highly: allow K–12 teachers to carry concealed handguns (with a survey score of 6.0), allow military personnel to carry on military bases (5.6),encourage the elimination of gun-free zones (5.3), and relax federal regulations that pressure companies to create gun-free zones(5.0).

“The top four policies for economists were the same, but in different order: encourage the elimination of gun-free zones (7.9), relax federal regulations that pressure companies to create gun-free zones (7.8),allow K–12 teachers to carry concealed handguns (7.7),and allow military personnel to carry on military bases (7.7).” However, when it comes to public health researchers, they’re far more in favor of stricter gun control policies.

“Their top policy choice,” the report revealed, “was barring gun sales to people deemed dangerous by a mental health provider, which was the fifth most valued policy by criminologists (4.88). Public health researchers’ other top policies weren’t viewed positively by criminologists.

That is interesting, Mistakes made by doctors and hospital personnel kill a lot more people in this country every year than guns do.

My late father had a comment about medical doctors, that the only criteria to be a expert in absolutely everything was to have a M.D.

They see the result of the gun violence in person, they don’t see the other side. Their view is skewed and while being valid, should be taken with a grain of salt.

And what does that same group of ‘experts’ say about abortion?

And what does that same group of ‘experts’ say about medical errors being the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer?

About a year ago, I needed a new doctor. During my first visit, the doctor asked if I owned and guns. I told him owning any form of personal property has nothing to do with my health, I no longer needed his services, so I’ll find a physician who understands that treating a patient’s health takes precedence over liberal political agendas.

Sorry, but wrong answer. The ideal answers, from best to worst are as follows:

1. No, never owned a gun
2. Yes, but I’m very careful to keep it locked up
3. None of your *&%*&^ business

Your answer, of course, was basically #3 - those are the people their trying to find.

What i are “public health researchers”?

This isn’t about doctors doing research. The title is deceptive. I imagine it’s people with sociology degrees
