    What I see is 680 in 2008.

    It's always nice to combine different circumstances to get to the number you want to convey.
    Doesn't change the fact that there are significantly more suicides via firearm(6 per 100k) than homicides via firearm(3 per 100k).

    As I said, you're more likely to be killed by your own gun than someone elses...

    Still doesn't add up to doc's dastardly deeds. Does it?

    Crappy analogy.

    Call 'em mentally ill, insane, whatever, & you just placed 'em on the gov. dole forever (unless they're dead; then they getta star in the gov. dole HoF; you, however, do not); so congratu-effing-lations!

    The hue & cry for "mentally ill" is the very best way to approve personal irresponsibility & lifetime disability soon after. You can be very proud of promoting gov. subsidy for criminals; so if you were self-styled anti-gov. type, U R no longer. Once more: congratu-effing-lations!

    I am going to go out on a limb and say you did not finish that Abbie Normal Psychology course.

    It's a bad analogy because you're comparing medical related deaths to non-medical related deaths
