We pull grapes and hotdogs and hard candy out of choking kids. We do studies to show that these foods are particularly hazardous to small airways. We ask parents to avoid these foods in young kids. Noise from the food companies = nothing.

Ditto with small toys. Remember the kinder egg ban? Or look at any toy with small parts. It will be clearly labeled, “not for under 3”. Why? Because we did studies that showed that these small parts ended up in kids airways.

Did the candy or toy lobby tell us to “stay in our lane” or question our research because we weren’t dietitians or toy designers? Nope. Because they recognize that our best way of treating illness is to prevent it in the first place.

To be clear, doctors aren’t claiming to be experts on guns themselves, they’re claiming to be experts on GUN VIOLENCE—and that’s certainly the truth. No one knows more about gun violence than they do.
-
I believe us fireman know a little. Doctors only see the patients that still have a pulse. And taking guns from responsible gun owners will not stop gun violence.
-
They don’t want to take guns away... it’s about smarter checks and common sense control. Gov passed legislation making it easier for mentally ill to buy. That doesn’t make sense.

Even Canada lets you buy guns. Nobody wants to ban guns. There should just be safeguards, background checks, limitations for criminals and the mentally ill, and lack of access to weapons capable of slaughtering fifty people in a 30 seconds without reloading. The NRA opposes this.

I personally know one person who owns a gun, and its for hunting, not self defense. Americans have a "thing" for guns, most Canadians don't.

Just out of curiosity, how many people are killed by pool, horticulture, and chewing candy?
-
About 5500 killed in pools every year.
-
Pool as in the game played on a table with a rack of balls, not swimming pools.
-
Cuesticks do NOT make trustworthy floatation devices, and the table would definitely sink you.

No one is making fun of corpses. Well, except Ann Coulter
