Dear Doctor: Out of the blue, my new primary care doctor asked me if I owned a gun. Was it appropriate, or even legal, for her to ask that?
Dear Reader: I can understand why you were surprised. Doctors generally try to avoid wading into political discussions, which, as we know, the topic of guns has become. Lately, though, many have been reassessing that arms-length stance and focusing on guns as a public health issue. |

Witness the comprehensive list of liberal talking points, top-to-bottom.
While the good doctor asserts that the rate of suicide-by-gun in the U.S. is 11 times the closest foreign country, he conveniently omits the fact that Japan's suicide rate (with ZERO guns) dwarfs that of the U.S., despite Japan having only 1/4 of the U.S.'s population.

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
