...I am dismayed that we remain paralyzed over preventive measures...
OK Doc. Why do we have cameras, security measures, and armed guards at banks and casinos? Why? Could it be that money is more important to protect with security than school kids?
By the way, have you ever treated anyone severely wounded by birdshot at close range? Or, wounded by 00 buckshot? Did you realize that a shotgun loaded with 7 rounds of 00 buckshot can empty 63 .30 caliber pellets in less than 4 seconds. That’s faster than a cycle rate of fire of the average submachinegun.
Let’s put shotguns on your ban list too.
preventative measures ...
I read of an incident in Viet Nam, where a Medivac chopper carried ammo to surrounded troops, when they were running out, as one of his return trips while evacuating the wounded.
He was called on the carpet - what were you doing?
I was practicing Preventative Medicine, Sir.
63 times .30 from buckshot....
