ACCIDENTAL HOSPITAL DEATHS ARE HIGHER THAN
ACCIDENTAL GUN DEATHS

Mr. Speaker, accidental deaths caused by doctors and hospitals in America
reached 120,000 per year. Meanwhile, gun deaths have dropped 35 percent.
In fact, accidental gun deaths dropped to 1,500 last year. Think about it.
We
have got hospitals slicing and dicing American people like Freddie Kruger,
and Congress is passing more gun laws. Beam me up.

There is something wrong in America when one is 80 times more likely to be
killed by a doctor than a Smith & Wesson. Think about it, 80 to 1. Maybe we
need a gun in surgery.

I yield back the fact that the second amendment was not written to
cover just duck hunters.
