Gun For Your Lives: A 2nd Amendment Round-Up

I've tackled how "the right to buy weapons is the right to be free" (Vincent van Gogh) in some detail, but David's Medienkritik observes a new low: Watch pockets are evil! You can store ammunition in them! Levi's jeans = fascist!

Murder is tragic and serious, so why do inanimate objects absurdly take the blame?

And the following is from a reader...

Think about this:
A. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
B. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
C. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
(Source: US Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Then think about this:
A. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
B. The number of accidental gun deaths per year is 1,500.
C. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner 0.0000188.

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. As a public health measure, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock may cause people to seek medical attention.
