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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
