As most have read, a government task force now recommends against routine mammograms for women under 50, since they will only save one woman's life in about 1900 that are screened, and the cost for screening is fairly large. Besides the fact this is a clear forecast for how health care will be rationed under the new plan... the same institution pushing this recommendation stands in direct opposition to firearm ownership, despite the economic impact of firearm and firearm related purchases.
From March 1, 1994 to December 31, 2008, 95 Million applications for firearm transfers and permits were approved by the BATF. This doesn't even address private transfers, accessory/ammo sales, etc. About 160,000 murders were committed with firearms during this same period.
If the government wants to promote rationing of my wife's/sister's/mom's life due to economic impact, it better reconsider the economic value of firearms.
