What was he trying to imply with that statement? That you use a gun to force a doctor to treat you? Or that you blow your brains out if you can't afford care

You shoot the disease before it gets to you.

I'm guessing he means the gun is to deter people from physically harming him, or shoot the ones who aren't deterred. This in no way helps anyone whose health is threatened by any of the numerous more common threats to health, but that's not his problem.

It seems that it means that since you already have the right to protect yourself, you don't need the right to healthcare from injuries. Like "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

damn, wish I had my gun when I rolled my ankle stepping off a curb

I would have blasted that concrete into a soft cushion and not banged up my knee

So they're suggesting we shoot obese people?

[–] Slowy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

No satisfying answer there

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

He meant that the cure for throat cancer was to shoot it out
