The primary purpose of a gun is to kill things on purpose
The better they are at their primary purpose the more I like doctors
Sorry, I'm not a gun control freak ... I just don't like guns
....ahhhh yes, but just the presence or perceived presence of a gun could keep you or a loved one from needing to see a doctor, or surgeon, or mortician...
...oh course it is a two way street...
