Not so funny - Michael Moore isn't opposed to guns. But as to the original post: Cute and clever, but, like most bumper sticker logic, it is complete statistics abuse. Funny anyway, but there are unfortunately some people out there that are somehow convinced by bad math and think this little joke constitutes a great argument for something-or-other. *sigh* |

Is a gun going to deliver a baby? Prescribe medication? diagnose a patient?
Let's see some statistics on how many lives physicians SAVE annually in the US and how many lives guns SAVE annually in the US. ------------- u dont know what to do ur getting mottor boatted Men are from Magmar, women are from Venusaur. |

yeah it's just how stereotypes linger... give it a break, if people are dumb enough to believe that math, i think they can do fine without a doctor. self-chlorination of the gene pool. -------------

a 1995 study conducted by widely respected criminologist Gary Kleck, of Florida State University, in which he averaged the figure to be approximately 2.5 million defensive gun usages (ie. where a firearm is displayed/used to deter criminal conduct like burglaries and assaults) per year. He based his statistic upon a national crime victim survey. Here, for example, is a portion of peer review on Kleck’s study: “How many times each year do civilians use firearms defensively? The answers provided to this seemingly simple question have been confusing. Consider the findings from two of the most widely cited studies in the field: McDowall et al. (1998), using the data from 1992 and 1994 waves of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), found roughly 116,000 defensive gun uses per year, and Kleck and Gertz (1995), using data from the 1993 National Self-Defense Survey (NSDS), found around 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year.

| Most of those guns are probably rifles and shotguns. Which some shotguns might be used for defensive purposes. While I am not sure which side this supports. Most people own more than 1 gun. Between my dad and I we own 12 guns. All are used for sport. But can be used for "defense" when the need arises. |

And there was that story a while back about the guy who shot a corn off his toe with a rifle.... I'm somewhat of a gun nut and even I'm not overthinking this. It's a joke in response to activists doctors trying to get ammunition labeled as a harmful substance or guns as a national health crisis. Lazy bastages would rather prescribe mood-altering drugs to hyper-active kids who's parents(on zoloft) can't be bothered by them instead of sewing up gunshots. It's too messy and they don't get kickbacks from the ammunition companies like they do the drug companies. |
