here's my spin on what the instructor left out..

we can make that a 'million point five dollar' bullet...

the cost of an ER surgeon, op room costs, anesthesia, OR techs.....

we foot the bill (eventually) of EVERY SINGLE GSW
THAT SHOWS UP IN AN E.R. in increased health care cost......fixing up a thoracic bullet wound is not easy or cheap.

funny, the only time a bullet costs anything isn't when WE fire it...it also costs us in emergency room dollars on our tax bill.

i cringe when i see bumper stickers that say
'gun control is using both hands'...

aw shoot,

your welcome!

this topic is not an easy one...i can see both sides......i like guns but really hate to see them used in a deliberately stupid and angry way.

it behooves me to see people take a cavalier
stand on all guns and then take NO responsibility
for the outcome of their point of view.
