Let's forgive just for a second that one thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other and indulge your need to change the subject away from the facts and illustrate for you just how absurd it is.

Medical Science saves more lives every year, by an enormous margin, than they accidentally kill. The evidence for this is clear. People in the United States are living longer and fuller lives and that is of an almost direct result of Medcial Sciences.

I defy you to show me any statistic that says Doctors do more harm than good. You can't. Further, you already know that if you'll just be honest with yourself. For example, we know that you have at least one child. Clearly you love your daughter, you post about her with a sense of pride. Was she ever sick as a child and required a doctor? Was she born in a Hospital? If she were in a car accident in front of you, would you have her rushed to an ER? See you already know your argument is silly because of course you would seek medical help for your child! This alone proves you're not ACTUALLY worried that Doctor's are more dangerous than they are helpful.

On the flipside, if we take out suicides and assume they'll happen either way, and look at only homicides and accidents involving firearms, that's still some 17,000 or so deaths a year in the US alone. Do you think you can find more than even say 100 examples of firearms in the hands of citizens saving lives? Of course not.

Let me head you off at the pass before you bring up deaths caused by automobile accidents and just remind you again that one thing has nothing to do with the other.

Finally, I'm not actually advocating for any more gun control in the United States. You have a culture of guns there, for better or for worse, and it is what it is. I'd just like you to be honest about the facts though. Your gun deaths per capita puts you closer to being on par with African nations than it does most developed Western Nations.
