Anyone with kids have their Doctor ask if there are guns in the house yet?

But don't you all know that a gun in the home is like 8 million times more likely to kill a family member than be used against a criminal?

Yeah, I heard that. Is that true?

The medical personnel are the same as politcial party members, and many cops, They circle the wagons to defend thier own. This goes for nurses as well.

that was told to me by a DR friend. He stated it as "thou shalt not speak ill o fany other doctor".

Keep in mind that you are ALWAYS more likely to be killed by someone you know than not. Just ask any detective. I belive the statistic is suspect as it includes suicides where no 3rd party or other family member is injured as "a" family member is killed so it is lobbed into the statistics. Also, I do not think the statistic takes out deaths associated with felony activity. For example, if I am killed by a cop while robbing a bank and a family member has a gun, it is counted. Finaly, the study that i saw was dependent upon individuals truthfully stating "yes, I have a gun." I don't know about you, but I never tell anyone in a phone survey that I have a gun in the house. I don't know if this is the study, but the methodology of the onw I saw was suspect.
