Just saying.

I agree with the sentiment, unfortunately while their is much effort directed at removing guns from the equation, little has been done to remove the problems in the medical system that continue to result in the unnecessary death of patients. The same situation exists here in Australia.
At an ethical level I find it appalling that doctors/hospitals cause more deaths than firearms and very little is done to prevent it. Gun crime obviously is bad but how keen are you to go to hospital when there's a chance it will kill you rather than heal you?
It's always been cheaper to "get rid of the guns" than fix the medical system and governments love the cheaper option.
