I could show you some really gruesome images from abortion clinics, much worse than these. Planned Parenthood gets tax money, the NRA does not. The NRA is made up of member that protect an actual enumerated right in the bill or rights. See how easy this is.

I've witnessed abortions, stillbirths and miscarriages. Stillbirths are the worst, imo. You know what never happens? Drive-by abortions. Either way, you just proved the point-- doctors absolutely should have input about the influence of guns in regards to public health. I'm glad you understand.

You might want to stop for a moment and do a count of those lives taken by abortion and those taken by "gun violence". It isn't even close and you know it.
Doctors should have no more influence on public policy than any other citizen, period. I did not make your point, I refuted it but I know you do not understand the difference.

Does not matter what you do, criminals will always get their hands on guns. Need tougher laws against CRIMINALS and lock the CRIMINALS WAY. Up the time they must serve if they use a firearm.

SSG Jessica Bautista - It used to be quite easy to have a mentally ill person put in temporary protective custody, pending competent medical authority evaluation.
https://mentalillnesspolicy.org/ivc/involuntary-commitment-concepts.html
But multiple cases have proven that there is potential civil, and possible criminal liability for both government officials and competent mental health practitioners who use the powers of the state to restrict someone's freedom. How many time would you have tobe sued before you refused to get involved, or allow your government agency or medical practice to assume the risks.
Your correct any policy that targets people's right based on income level is "too complex for most people." But I'm quite sure the ACLU would be more than happy to discuss it with government officials IN COURT.

Legal Basis for Involuntary Commitment and Involuntary Treatment - Mental Illness Policy Org
Involuntary commitment and involuntary treatment of mentally ill is important tool for treating mental illness. Involuntary commitment is not the same as involuntary treatment. Involuntary commitment is taking away someone's right to be where they want, while involuntary treatment is treating someone. They are two different concepts

Maj John Bell Imo, simply increasing access to mental health services could help, but that's not happening, especially in inner city areas. How many kids could benefit from counseling after a trauma?

And single parent families are an indicator of poverty. Perhaps poverty also creates single-parent families, has nothing to do with decisions people make.

SSG Jessica Bautista - Mental illness only accounts for a small percentage of shootings. Also, in some states, Mental health providers can notify local law enforcement if someone is a harm to themselves or others. However, that person still has rights to due process.

I'm raising the BS flag. That is a staged photo opportunity. I've been the the ER and surgery before during and after gunshot wounds and massive trauma from accidents or attempted murder by bludgeon. No surgeon would allow his/her ER to get in that state. No doubt there is a tremendous amount of blood, discarded dressings and bandages, and peripherals. However they are not strewn about the floor along with equipment, nurses and orderlies are in that ER, some are specifically tasked with keeping the surgery clean and safe. Imagine the temper tantrum a surgeon would throw the first time they slipped on blood or debris, scalpel in hand and inside a patient. People would lose their jobs mid-shift.
If people must over dramatize to make their point, they don't have much faith in their point, or their audience. I'll spare RP my response to either mistake.

You've never experienced a MASCAL? I've worked traumas my entire adult life, and although some situations are nice and neat, a lot aren't. Neither your anecdotal evidence nor mine are actual evidence that these are staged photos. Anyways, these were in direct response to the snide comments made by the NRA.

SSG Jessica Bautista - Come on! Really? "You've never experienced a MASCAL?" Is that a statement or a question? Why would an EMT still be involved in patient treatment at the hospital beyond care transfer at the ER.
I live in a rural community. Our medical assets are very limited. A 14 passenger van church bus rollover with five immediates constitutes a mass casualty, if we have a normal night. We have had situations where veterinarians are treating Start Triage Class three delayed victims for stitches and bandaging during ice storms.
"Anyways, these were in direct response to the snide comments made by the NRA." The only response to that is "If I have to pull this car over, neither you or your brother is going to like it."

Maj John Bell My mom always threatened that, but that was an empty threat, so I don't quite understand the meaning here.
When one is treated at any hospital on a military installation, the majority of the staff in the ER are medics working in nursing roles. Also near military installations: a lot of young, reckless soldiers. Motorcycles were the bane of my existence.

SSG Jessica Bautista - It is my way of saying that whether or not The comments were "...in direct response to the snide comments made by the NRA." Does not justify over dramatizing with staged photos.
