Shooting Rekindles Issues of Gun Rights and Restrictions

This doesn't have anything to do with the argument. Does a parent cry any harder if his or her kid dies from malpractice then from a bullet? They are still deaths and if we can lower any death number for reasonable reasons than it is worth doing.

These numbers are skewed anyways. Physicians perform a lot more operations than guns shoot bullets a year. Most cases that physicians are performing surgery; something can go wrong and kill someone. Most cases where someone fires a gun, they are in no danger to anyone else.

Also, accidental gunshot deaths aren't what we should concentrate on but homicidal gunshot deaths.

Once again, the point of doctors is to save and help people while the points of guns are to kill people.
