They just need to tweet a comparison of deaths by gun accidents to deaths by medical mistakes.

Physician mistake kills more than 10X of ALL GUN DEATHS, not merely accidental gun deaths. 400,000 physician-caused deaths vs 30,000 gun deaths per year.

#17. Doctors and the CDC need to start a study on how many people die from violence by knife. If you add in the factor that some groupings of people have a more ready access to or cultural affinity for knives/swords/machetes, etc., then you can see another “never want to be discussed” problem.

How many doctors are opposed to the death penalty? Someone take a national poll. Then you’ll see their lack of concern for the murderers’ victims. The same for the forensic pathologists, etc.

How many doctors “declare” that a psychopath is “fit to be released”, and then takes no responsibility when their “fit” patient goes out and commits the same kind of murder, AGAIN?

Why has it taken the CDC so long to do realistic studies on crime, guns, weapons, etc? Hell, Obama and Holder had 8 years to do it and nobody would have objected if it was done scientifically and without any prejudicial guiding views.

The increasing attacks on conservatives in restaurants (add Tucker Carlson’s family), the streets, at their homes, offices, and at public events are a sure sign that some Marxist/communist/anarchist “soldier” is going to kill someone ala the Alexandria, Va. baseball field mass shooting.

The “progressives” are stoking this fire and they don’t realize that the wind could turn and them and they would be on the receiving end. There are a few insane people amongst the grouping “conservatives” and they will go “Negan” on the Dems and their Marxist shocktroops.

Then it might be all out war and guess who is better armed, trained, motivated, and willing to die to protect their families, homes, and countries.

This next chapter of American history will be entitled “Locked, Loaded and Deadly Serious”, and we are going to write the story, not some leftist academic Marxist pukes and gender fairies.
