Is a gun like a virus, a car, tobacco or alcohol? Yes say public health experts, who in the wake of recent mass shootings are calling for a fresh look at gun violence as a social disease.

What we need, they say, is a public health approach to the problem, like the highway safety measures, product changes and driving laws that slashed deaths from car crashes decades ago, even as the number of vehicles on the road rose.

Don't more people die/suffer because of doctor's screw ups and uncleanliness in medical facilites today? Maybe they need to clean up their own mess first!

The doctors seem to have overlooked, that these mass shootings all seem to have happened in "Gun-Free Zone".

Hey Doc!
How are you coming along with eliminating those "Medical Misadventures" that kill *DOZENS* of times *MORE* people every year than guns do?

It seems to me the last three nuts to commit mass killings have all been associated with the mental health field in some way. Maybe the doctors need to heal themselves before trying to fix the rest of us.
