Anti-2A Trauma Doc

[JDay]

Just another useful idiot.

So the good Doc does not touch ANY alcohol because he sees what it does regarding car accidents/damage to the body, nor does he drive because a car can mess you up too??? Watch out for the skill saw too!

To add to your argument: does the doctor also not breathe air? Have you seen the smog to any major city and the effects it has on our lungs? I hope the doctor also doesn't eat because of the additives that are put in foods.

He's just a doctor his opinions don't carry any more weight on second amendment issues than mine do.

You should have said "At least we're keeping you buys, right?" and walked away. People that are anti-gun simply CANNOT accept any counterargument, no matter how valid.

[Jon Road King]

As that Doc how he got to work.

I bet he drove in a car...

Best line for the Doc: Medical malpractice kills over 10 times more people than all of the scary assault rifles. Clearly we need stiffer criminal penalties for medical malpractice. I think we should use the death penalty.

I've heard that argument before. If faced with an attacker, antigunners would rather run or fight hand to hand. Well, if one can ban firearms on the basis that the victim can run away or fight hand to hand, it is discrimination against anyone physically incapable of doing so: parents with young kids, old folks, the disabled, etc.

You are using logic to address the doctor's emotional response and that will not work. Before using facts and reason you must address the emotion and move beyond it.

This is why I long ago gave up trying to use things like "facts" and "logic" when arguing with pro-personal disarmament types. Now I don't even bother to try. In the given situation I'd probably say something like: "Yeah, well, some people need holes in them."

It's easy to play Rambo with one's own hypothetical safety and claim "I'd run," or "I wouldn't shoot."

The real question for him is: "If your daughter was at a gun point of a person who already shot a few before her and you had a gun, would you shoot the attacker, or would you run and let your daughter be killed?"

[Bluesman]

Too many years in acadamia lala land.

[readysetgo]

I am as moved by his opinion of firearms as he would be mine of emergency medical surgery, which is to say not at all.

Stick to medicine doc.

Does he get mad when the 5.0 send in a creep with holes? People are strange.

Eh, I recently finished a combat medic training that was taught by an ER trauma doc, who carried a gun and was on standby for SWAT actions.

My oncologist at Stanford of all places had gun magazines in both the waiting room and the chemo room.

My local oncologist didn't even blink when I took off my holster and set my G43 on the counter during the exam.

That surprises me about Stanford. When I used to work at the hospital, I was asked to take down a picture I had in my office. Apparently the rifle I had slung across my chest, in uniform, while in service, made people uncomfortable. I was asked by leadership to not display anything firearm related regardless if it had military ties. I was told that many feel uncomfortable with firearms and with war so I need to be cautious to not offended them.

I wonder if he would change his mind if he couldn't run away and he was severely beaten while his wife and child were raped before his eyes?

What would a sheep do if a wolf was eating his mate and offspring? He would wait his turn. The weak will always be weak, sheep can pretend to be something else but they will always be sheep.

Most of us think about carrying at work more than we would ever admit. From my fuzzy memory we were taught that knife/stab wounds were three times more likely to be fatal/more serious than a gsw. Unk where the lecturer got that stat from but professionally I get much more concerned with stabs than gunshots.
