I Can't Think of a More Appropriate Name...

Too many guns, too many deaths...
Marilyn Bull.

Go figure.

Many ask why so many Hoosiers are dying at the hands of guns . . .

So guns have "hands" now? I guess that explains how they manage to load, aim, and fire themselves at innocent children.

Bull is medical director with the Indiana Partnership to Prevent Violent Injury and Death.

NOT a medical or scientific organization at all. Just another liberal political action committee, with about six members. In other words, the Brady Bunch.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rank Indiana as the Midwestern state with the second highest rate of deaths from guns, second only to Kentucky.

Wrong, unless you ONLY count the Midwest states. Most people put Kentucky in the South, especially Kentuckians.

Studies show that when more guns are present in an area, there will be more injuries and deaths.

What studies? Studies by people who know how to do valid scientific studies, such as Lott, Kopel, and Kleck, refute that statement. Convincingly.

Studies calculate that about one-third of these guns are kept unlocked and loaded in the home and accessible to children, teens or adults, any of whom may also be users of drugs or alcohol or have a mental illness or a violent temper.

This woman's hair is on fire.
Slap together a bogus study claim with as many pejoratives as possible, and maybe some dumb semi-literate graduate of public school will believe it.

I don't believe this woman is a doctor. No one who has been taught to think critically for as many years as a doctor has can come up with anything this egregiously vacuous.

Not all Doctors think critically. Many now are told to ask parents and kids if there are guns in the house.

I've also never seen a gun that was designed to impale either, what does she mean, a harpoon gun, maybe? Yeah, all the criminals use them!?!?
