FWIW, some 33,000 deaths occur in the US each year from firearms.

Not even close.

33,000 are killed with guns, not "from" guns. Big difference.

Don't let them win the definitions game. Guns do not have volition. There is no evidence that more guns results in either more murders or more suicides.

There is plenty of contervailing evidence.

Fair enough, “by firearms” would have been better. But clearly my point was that physician error is nearly 10 times as deadly as ALL firearm-related.
