It's not armed robbers or warring gangs who send the greatest percentage of gunshot survivors to Florida emergency rooms.
It's people who shoot someone, or themselves, accidentally.
Four out of every 10 people who are rushed to a Florida hospital or emergency room with a nonfatal wound were shot by accident, according to hospital data collected by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration and published by the Florida Department of Health.http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2013-12-15/news/os-gun-accidents-20131215_1_mario-whitehead-florida-agency-hospital
You cannot tell The Gadfly that nobody bothered to contemplate the real-world consequences of allowing gun worship and gun fetishism to dominate our culture at the expense of public health and safety. Because the fact of the matter is - plenty of people did - and their voices were summarily ignored -- and as a result -- Voila!
