This is an interesting mini-documentary that questions the logic of our government's fight to control guns at the same time that they fail to do with a much bigger public safety threat: the pharmaceutical industry. 106,000 people die each year from FDA-approved prescription drugs. An estimated nearly 784,000 die each year at the hands of the allopathic medical establishment.
Hell, drugs companies are actually BRIBING doctors to prescribe more of their drugs!
What does this mean? It means you're far more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a James Holmes or a Jared Loughner, and that you should question these so-called authorities like the news media and (cough) your doctors.
While I'm not going to speak on the merits of gun control or whether doctors might have a role in mass shootings like Columbine (as the video suggests) -- these are just too big of topics, and I'm not interested in getting them on a health blog -- I would encourage you to watch this 5.5-minute video and decide for yourself.
The final point the video makes is that it's time for us to start instituting "doctor control" to protect people from the harms of overly prescribing prescription drugs. What do you think?
That all said, there's a place for pharmaceutical drugs, albeit a much smaller space than what your doctor would have you believe. So be informed, and then make conscious decisions for your own life.
