Let's try this on for size:
"You know, the internet was designed to spread information at the fastest rate possible. In the wrong hands, lies, libel and misinformation can travel around the world faster than our founders could ever have dreamed.
This causes major problems in our society and it even puts human lives at risk. Now, I'm as big a fan of the 1st Amendment as anyone, but we have simply got to enact some restrictions on free speech and regulate how fast those electrons can travel" ...
Haven’t read many articles considering why public schooling gives cause to unstable persons to become so vengeful.
Tide pods weren’t designed “to kill as efficiently as possible”. But people still go the the hospital and die because of them. Does the doctor want them banned?
If not, where does he draw the line on the number of deaths that can result from use of an item by people with mental problems before it is outlawed. The Constitution is obviously not his line.
“I am a trauma surgeon, and I’ve seen what AR-15s can do.”
I’m a retired combat vet. I’ve seen what all kinds of weapons are designed to do. They all are designed to dispatch their target quickly and easily. So, if you are going to remove rifles, then remove grenades, rockets, explosives, and anything used in war that is designed to kill and is already in the hands of the public.
Oh, and how many auto accidents have you treated in the hospital and seen what a thousand pound car or a twenty thousand pound truck can do to the human body. And even with the war zones in Chicago or Detroit, more people die on the freeways every day. Time to ban cars?
And by doing that, you can’t say that AR-15’s are the problem as they don’t kill people. So let me correct your statement, please, “I am a trauma surgeon, and I’ve seen what people can do.” And that’s a correct statement.

Actually, the idiot doctor should study history. The small-caliber, high-velocity rounds of 0.223 ammo are intended NOT to kill, but to wound and incapacitate. Tending wounded uses far more resources and ties up far more troops (logistics) than dumping a dead body in a trench.
I am quite frankly shocked that Nicholas Cruz used a gun. After what we have seen in NYC and in France, I would think that he would have rented a u-haul and mowed down students as they exited the school.
Though, if that had happened, it would not have gotten much media coverage as it did not fit the agenda. Just as it isn’t getting much attention that they are killing themselves in Chicago using firearms. Evidently, poor blacks in the neighborhoods killing each other with illegally obtained weapons doesn’t sell well either.
Am I wrong but didn’t opioids kill more people in the last year than mass shooters?
And who prescribes opioids.
Doctors that look like Cap’n Crunch that’s who.
Killing as efficiently as possible is exactly what a good firearm should do. Where’s the beef? We need to get firearms safety and defense classes and competitive shooting sports back into the schools!
more gun control retards that know nothing about caliber of riffles. These murders are perpetrated by democrat liberal blue counties and large leftist cities.
Can anyone hear a jackass braying?

Dr. Ernest E. Moore: YAFOSchiff!
My 7mm Mag is designed as a hunting weapon for deer sized game and larger.
The .223 is designed for prairie dogs and not legal for deer in man states.
Just saying.
Why would a company design a weapon to NOT be efficient?
Can anyone find Dr “Gene’s” voter registration?
I know it's been a couple hundred years, but maybe this guy should reread history, there are such a thing as tyrannical governments.
“An assault rifle is designed to deliver fatal wounds to multiple individuals within a short time period; it has no other purpose.”
Yes. And when you have multiple assailants threatening you, that “purpose” (you so scoff at) is the difference between killing all the bastards and watching your family being raped/murdered.
Sometimes you must be more violent and better armed than the scum to protect innocent people from the depraved.
Anyone must have the right to violently defend their family and property from violent criminals. 911 is NOT defense!
Trauma surgeon, how many deaths have you seen due to knives, some knives are designed to kill as efficiently as possible, have you called for their banning? What's your position on drugs, alcohol, vehicles, pipes, clubs, hands, feet? All these thing can and are used to kill people and sometimes quite efficiently!
Oh and by the way, educate yourself, the AR-15 is not an assault rifle.
Semi-auto rifles have been around for over a century - ANY are capable of sustained rapid fire. If it doesn’t have a magazine, and graduate of a shop class could probably make one that worked. The AR isn’t new.
Anyway, the only solution is to take ALL of them from the population. You think you’re busy now, Doc, well then you’ve got a BIG surprise coming.
A gun is just a tool, just like money.
I wonder if this Doc asks where the money his patients pay him came from? After all, if a gun (which is a tool) can be evil, then why can’t money?
