Any other doctor/surgeon gun owners here? Ever get any flak for owning guns when GSWs roll in? I was openly pro gun until Vegas; now the attendings in trauma think I'm a baby killer for owning an AR15.

>I've saved more lives than I've taken.
Idk, i think the moar skooling means more "guns are bad, mmk."

Secondary education is socialist brainwashing.

Tell the gold-digging attendings that if they want any of your doctorbux they better start liking guns stat.

Nurses, that is. Let the other docs get raped by niggers.

>getting phd
>tons of other students and professors are open about guns and we go shooting with each other
>not even in a red state

The STEM field is awesome.

I live in Memphis; it's more likely than you'd think

Its true. Materials engineer here, going to the range with materials people becomes an experiment. Went one time after getting API for my nugget and two friends and me spent 3 hours shooting 4 rounds of API because we were setting up different targets and taking video. It was sweet.

There are a lot of problems with secondary education but its still the easiest way to secure a good paying job that won't ruin you back by the time your 40.

Murse here. Boat nurses I know own guns or hunt.
It's not that you're a doctor that makes your peers a bunch of fags, it's living in a large urban center that makes them fags

Good for you Op. Three years ago, the dr that helped with the birth of my son was bragging none stop about his 10mm. Had an awesome talk about guns as my son was being born.

Why do you own an AR-15?
Pointless weapon

Why do you care about the opinions of your lower subordinates? Remind them that if they mind their business and do their job without injecting their political opinions, maybe they can do more than change ivs and bedpans and maybe make some real money.

>getting PhD
>most people have facebook liberal opinions or are actual communists
SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL

>Peoples beliefs have bearing on real life.
This isn't a Disney movie.

Dude no. Liberals be crazy. He should just go about his job with little attention as possible. Most of my coworkers and bosses are libtards. No fucking way I trust them to respect my opinions.

Daily reminder MODS delete our activist pro 2A threads because they're political, but let this shill shit fuck up the board.

FUCK YOU MODS.

saged for shill bait thread.

I fail to see the relation of our posts.
They're nurses. Their opinions don't matter. If they did, they'd be doctors.

Agreed trying to talk my comp sci proff into archery compitions, and half the time i end up chilling in his office talking about guns and MAGA lol

Jesus user.

At medical school in a very pro gun school. Everyone I know shares my hobby. Comfy af

20+ years in the saddle as a family doc who shoots regularly on my own range. I've quit two professional organizations (AAFP and my State Medical Association) because of their bigotry toward gun owners.

Physicians are, as a class, entitled, glorified, arrogant and generally ignorant about anything outside of their field. I had dipshit attendings argue with me about the awesome power of the 7.62 x 39 and how it needs to be outlawed, not knowing the first fucking thing about ballistics or that I used to hunt elk with a .375 H&H and bear with a.458. One Fudd idiot tried to tell me it was more powerful than the .30-06 he used for deer.

Fuck 'em. Assuming you're in primary care and they want your referrals, they'll be kissing your ass once you're out of residency.

For now: Shut up and keep your head down. Feed their pathetic little egos and play their game. Learn everything you can from them and know that once you're out the tables will turn and absolutely NOTHING they say will matter.

I can tell you don't work at a hospital.

Daily reminder trips are cancrous. sad manchild

What state OP?

I keep my power level down at work. Don't see the point of stirring up shit there. What you do in your free time is your business. Shooting is something you enjoy. It's not illegal, you're not hurting anyone, so fuck others opinions

Not a doctor, but a lowly EMT. Yes, I catch flak from management because I guess they think seeing brains and shit being smeared across a ceiling should turn me off to guns.

Should we be turned off to cars when we see a body torn in half on the highway?

Should we stop enjoying pizza and burgers because some fat fuck ate his fat ass to death?

Pulmonary critical care doc in Oklahoma here. I came here from NJ so most folks go out of their way to suggest I take up shooting. Little do they know I’m way ahead of them

>The STEM field is awesome.

That's a problem being solved

Civil engineering is full of rednecks / good ol boys and it goes all the way to the state government.

Don't fuck with the department of transportation

*they

It makes sense though, most PhD make fuck all of any value that risk being taken away from them, they need access to other people's resources. Sharing resources is a lot more fun when you're the recipient and not the producer.

Pol Pot did nothing wrong.

Wish more people thought like you. People are fucking horrible. It's the environment people are exposed to that make them off others or themselves.

How many liberals are there texting and driving with a family or kid in the vehicle? Nope...it's always about guns.

>all the people I talk about guns with at college are in STEM
>tfw im a humanities major
I don't get along with anybody in my field.

Fuck them. Guns are a right not a privilege. If they're not smart enough to figure it out, they're npcs and deserve their fate.

And they will be among the first to die if SHTF. I guarantee you these anti-gun assholes are the same people who go home and masturbate to foot fetish vids while wearing clown suits.

Ive had many a visit.

You ignorant slut, it's a versatile rifle. Much like Glock series weapons, the AR platform has so many ergonomic parts it means it can be tailor fit for negligible cost, that doesn't even account for other aftermarket that play well with them because of modular design. It comes in all primary ammunition types allowing for alot of part compatibility if you have several variants. Lastly if you live in any southern state it's magazine is the most valuable thing you could have because wild hogs travel in large packs and are quite dangerous, you no-guns faggot.

in the psych ward

Hows that lip piercing?

YOU are A Baby killer. Get over it

>Pointing out facts is crazy

Lol

>think I'm a baby killer

you could always become an abortionist

fuck off shill

>MFW failed retort
at least try putting 5 minutes of work into it you failed abortion.

Why do you care ? If you are a dr/surgeon, why would you care about what idiots think ? You should be smart enough to see how moronic they are being. Why you care what they say instead of dismissing their opinions is beyond me. Stop Listening To Emotional Idiots, problem solved.

I have stated my opinion and will continue to do so.


It is as follows.


We should be funding research, assistance, and public awareness to de-stigmatize mental health issues.


These shootings do not happen on a daily basis or they wouldn't be noteworthy.


Therefore, the vast majority of deaths are due to suicides (mental health). The often cited statistics specifically say "gun deaths" rather than murders.


Next time someone says or implies you are a killer, politely ask them "Are the fifty-nine lives more important than the hundreds of people who commit suicide because of our failure as human beings to help and support them?"


Yes, shooters are bad but we're terrible to others each day.


So, there you go. An honest and self-aware reply with a human objective rather than a social justice one.

Most peoples idea of bringing "awareness" to mental illness is to treat them as second-class citizens and revoke their fundamental rights as Americans because they're deemed unsafe towards society, despite the overwhelming majority being non-violent.

you should remind them that hospitals are soft targets and if they were true to their owth they would use all the tools available to save a life including a gun.

You took bait. From someone else. That was the joke i was making. Go rape some goats or something. You need to calm down

Im a us citizen med student in europe, ill be applying for residency in 2 years. Were should i go so i might pursue a hobby in target shooting and maybe some camping.

shut up

what is it like being a 4channer doctor

is there enough time for fun things or is it all work and no play

not in the field. my mother and brother are. mother owns a gun, which was a gift from her father and a shot gun, gift from my father. brother doesn't but I and my father lend him our guns as he is still starting his life. his fiance is gun-shy but she like to learn about guns so she isn't a dunce in fire arms.

Memphis

That is among the dumbest thing I've ever heard about a gun ever and that's shocking you do realize to say that something that was specifically engineered for a purpose is the direct opposite of pointless? You might think that an AK is better or that the AR is obsolete or inferior but those are different arguments from pointless.

I'm sure I'm going to regret asking but why don't you like the AR15 what insight do you have that runs counter to do many Profesional operators?
