Right.... I mean lets look at some things here. Gun deaths are at 30,000 a year roughly. in the year 2009 (quick searches) roughly 17,000 of them were suicides. So roughly 13,000 were homicides.
in any given year over 40,000 people will die by abusing the drug aspirin.
Wow, are we going to ban aspirin. NO! bayer has the government in their back pockets.
Roughly between 44,000 and 100,000 people die each year from medical errors in medicine and other preventable treatments. Yet are we arresting doctors and throwing away the key. NO!
These are not facts, i.e. i said lets look at some things here. But these are some telling tales. We are being exterminated by the very medicine thats here to help yet do we do anything about it? NO anyone at any age can buy aspirin.
but hey my .02 doesn't matter. Ill just stop and talk to the fellow alumni John Boehner later about it.
