Firearms are responsible for more deaths of people age 1 to 24 in this country than are cancers, heart disease, or infections. We and other physician colleagues across the Commonwealth thank The Boston Globe (“Doctors should ask about guns,” Editorial, April 3) and Attorney General Maura Healey for their recognition that health professionals have a profound responsibility to discuss the devastating risks posed by firearms in our homes and communities. |

| Here's a novel proposition: We won't tell you how to practice medicine, and you don't tell us how to exercise our natural rights. |

I have no complaints whatsoever to receive advice on firearms safety from those who are qualified to give it. But before I'll listen to my doctor, on the issue, I'll need to know what certification he has, in the area.
Is he an NRA-certified Home Firearm Safety instructor?

A recent article said that the medical profession kills many times more people in this country through malpractice, mismanagement and error than are killed with firearms. I believe they are taking the offensive on this in order to distract us from their culpability.
This website has an excellent letter to doctors on this very topic. It's been available for years and is well worth reading. |

| Docs need to work on the 100,000 killed by medical errors every year within their own ranks. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
