"Yet nationwide in 2016, there was an average of 97 deaths from firearm violence per day: 35 476 altogether (1). In the 10 years ending with 2016, deaths of U.S. civilians from firearm violence exceeded American combat fatalities in World War II."

"Scientist" conflates homicides, suicides and accidents. Japan has NO privately owned firearms and many more suicides than the US.

Are medical accreditation organizations now requiring firearm safety education as part of internal medicine training? Dollars-to-donuts almost none of signatories have ever even touched a firearm.

Just think how many more suicides there would be in Japan if guns were readily available. Liblogic 101.

According to the CDC, there were 461 deaths nationwide resulting from the accidental discharge of firearms, and 3406 from drowning in 2014.

Wouldn't it be more helpful to ask patients if they know how to swim?
