RATIO OF ACCIDENTAL MEDICAL DEATHS TO ACCIDENTAL GUN DEATHS
April 04, 2000

Mr. Speaker, something does not add up, the number of accidental deaths involving guns average
1,500 per year; and the number of accidental deaths caused by doctors, surgeons, and hospitals
average 120,000 a year, 120,000 per year. That means the ratio of accidental medical-related
deaths to accidental gun deaths is 80 to 1, 80 times more possible of being killed accidentally by a
doctor than a gun.

Tell me, Mr. Speaker, should we mandate a 5-day waiting period on vasectomies?

Beam me up. Congress does not need more gun laws; America must enforce the laws that we have.

I yield back all the American lives saved by an honest law-abiding American who just happened to
have a gun.

There is a lot of innuendo that he is in the mafia or something, but I like him anyway. I've seen him rip on bubba on the house floor. He was on Hardball the other night and was very impressive. In verbal swordplay with Chris Matthews, he slashed and parried like no tommorrow. He was not afraid to speak or respond to hard questions with tough answers in a very direct fashion.

The IRS has tried to get him several times and he has kicked their proverbial (and probably literal) A$$ES. Anyone who can stand up to them is ok in my book.

I protest! Why oh why are those of us of Italian, esp, Sicilian ancestory always labeled as Mafia? ...just kidding

The amazing thing is Traficant(e) is a Democrat.....hell he is more Republican than Rudy Giuliani. They have been trying to pin stuff on Traficant for years, cuz they loathe him. They approve of buttlicks like both Cuomos....however, most Guidos are like Lucibella and Cicci
