Most doctors don't see gunshot wounds, because most doctors don't work in emergency rooms.
You don't go to a family doctor for a gunsshot wound. You don't go to an obgyn for a gun wound. The only doctor you should ever see is in the emergency room.
I am all for individual rights, but all INDIVIDUALS have rights.
If some individual that lives in an apartment next to me wants to be a nazi, smoke crack, worship the devil - fine with me - it doesn't effect me.
But if that individual brings home a gun - it very well could if it is used.
The fact is - a gun in the home is much more likely to kill someone you know than protect you.
Almost everyone that owns a gun thinks this won't happen to them. They are RIGHT 99% of the time, but unfortunately - IF THE GUN IS USED - they are WRONG much more than they are RIGHT.
I think everyone who either enters a house or has their children enter the hous of another - has a right to know if there is a gun in that house.
People who own guns think it makes them safer - statistically it does not. You have a better chance getting hit by lightning than using a gun in self defence.
No one ever thinks something will happen to them - they think these other people are impulsive, stupid, don't lock their guns up safely, or whatever other reason.
People should know and understand the risks of owning a gun.
