your medical decisions. Or rather, since I know you'll say the organization doesn't dictate to you, you're letting your personal bias/convictions on a totally unrelated matter influence your medical decisions.
Besides, are you really interested in whether the AMA and WHO's facts are *correct*, or whether they support your political views and bias? If they're correct but you don't agree with where those facts lead, then it's not really an argument against their medical acumen. As medical organizations, their duty is to weigh in on the *medical* aspects of things like having guns in the house, such as injury statistics and death tolls. You, as a gun owner, consider the broader picture and come to your own conclusion, but that doesn't make their facts incorrect, only inconvenient if they don't support your preexisting views. It's up to you to judge how data from various sources fits into the overall picture, and possibly to change your views if new data warrants it. You can't do that if no one is collecting and interpreting the data. |
