How about dealing with Medical Malpractice, 195,000 at least in 2004: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/11856.php But the AMA jumps on the anti-gun bandwagon: http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2001/12/17/edca1217.htm Despite the number of total deaths for the most recent year available (2001) being only 29,573 http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/tables/frmdth.htm And accidents under 1000, which, considering there are over 200M firearms in the US, is a paltry accident rate. Physicians, heal thyselves.

Ofthese, 10,654were carried out with guns (FBI, 2006b).How many people died in car crashes in 2004? How many people died from tobacco and alcohol related issues in 2004? How many people died from weight-related issues in 2004? If we're looking at banning stuff because people are dying, let's at least save more lives by banning cars, tobacco, alcohol, and fat people.
