      I did a fair amount of trauma surgery before I subspecialized, and I'm not impressed. More gun deaths are due to suicides than homicides, and suicides have little or nothing to do with criminals but do have a lot to do with ready gun access making suicide attempts more lethal. 1/ https://t.co/hk9oJ9ZToC

      And don't even get me started on accidental deaths and injuries among children and teens due to firearms. Clearly Dr. Hochstein's anecdotal personal experience is more meaningful to him than actual data. 2/2

      I can't help but ping an actual trauma surgeon, @MarkHoofnagle, to weigh in. Somehow I think he knows more about this than a plastic surgeon or cancer surgeon.

          It's still about the #GUNS, no matter how they are used or misused. #gunsense #GunControlNow

          Dr Hochstein's profile pic puts me strangely in mind of the fictional guys on FX's Nip/Tuck. Though perhaps that was the idea.

          I'm also amused at how his response to me proves my point, even as he thinks it's a devastating retort.😂😂😂

          Owning a firearm makes you more likely to die of gun violence. Access to firearm also shiwn to be more likely to commit suicide and more likely to be successful because it tends to be an impulsive act.

          But more deeply, “it’s the people” is a fundamentally absurd argument that requires you to ignore everywhere else in the world. People are people. Americans are people like everywhere else, just with easier access to firearms. It’s an environmental variable, not a human one.
