Welcome to Malpractice Disguised as Qualified Advice, with Dr. Helen Minciotti

Pediatric safety advocates point out that while safe firearm storage practices and educational efforts are important, they are still second best to the most effective gun strategy out there: keeping guns entirely out of homes with children. [More]
Dr. Helen Minciotti said it, I believe it, that settles it.

 
Hey, I wonder what the expert Dr. Helen would have done had those guys broken into her home...? No, I didn't mean to invite scatological comments, but you're probably right.

And of course this means the same rules must apply to the "Only Ones"?

Yo, Helen: Fill this out?

    My house has stairs. Children get hurt by falling down stairs. I should take my stairs out. Even though no children visit.
    D'oh! Stairs in the front and back too!

    Dr. Minciotti -- and who wouldn't take advice from a square Italian noodle stuffed with meat? -- does mention education, but then there's her big "but" citation of the flawed, failed and recanted Kellermann study via Johns Hopkins.
    Five minutes of research is apparently five minutes too much.

    Bust into my wikiup, and one of my sons will be glad to show you an effective gun strategy.

    That physician qualification/liability form... beautiful. It would shut many of them up.
    And remember, 220,000 deaths by medical error every year in the United States...
    They hardly ever say one's immune system is TOO STRONG. And what is a gun but an antibody against the virus called criminal violence?
