An NRA tweet telling doctors to “stay in their lane” has prompted many medical professionals to speak out against gun violence with the hashtag ThisIsMyLane

Why is the Democratic party not more concerned about removing guns from criminals, or removing criminals from the country?Before taking legal guns away from legal citizens.

These doctors are victim-blaming. Putting politics before people's lives.

Their path does not give them either the authority nor the responsibility to opine on my Constitutionally Guaranteed Right(s). What's next? Do not speak because words can hurt? StayInYourLane

How many died due to prescription overdoses or medical malpractice today verses gun violence? Doctors are dangerous compared to any inanimate object

Doctors should try to remember their prime function and ACTUALLY help peoples health, instead of throwing pills at them and instead of mouthing off or looking for that second lake house and new boat.

Screw the NRA. Bad for America.

It’s human violence. Humans find tools and we need to take responsibility for defending them, not making them defenseless

BaichwalABC7 Doesn't matter.

PDX_Tom Congressman threatening gun owners with weapons of war is not a good picture. Treating GSW is in doctors lane, political policy is not only not in theirs, but it is probably beyond some in Congress

Yea they need to just shut up...they kill more people that criminals with guns!

AmazingChevVolt Docs who work in ER on gun shot victims are affected, just as families are. However if this makes them get involved in being anti NRA then they have moved out of their scope of practice and into an area of (misplaced) concern. Focus on medical errors, a bigger issue at hand

Kinda odd how when a cop shoots an unarmed person it's the cops fault but when a criminal does it then it's the guns fault.....or the NRA. 🤔

Random criminal violence I can deal with organized repression from the people's Democratic Party I am out gunned

and if you choose to be defenseless... that's your choice. mine may be different. 2a - the immune system of the body politic.

Dear NRA, how dare you threaten any person! You are not men. You are bullies who hide behind a weapon bc you have no courage, integrity, or balls.

Medical professionals should speak out about over prescribing pain killers and Medicare fraud!

If they wanna tell us the damage that certain firearms do to the human body as compared to others, go ahead. That’s absolutely their lane. But they are no more qualified to discuss gun policy than any other professional.

Auto-crashes? Hmmm.

Maybe it would be a good counterpoint to point out the thousands of needless patient deaths that occur due to poor practitioner habits.

Ironic, considering that Doctors are responsible for more deaths than guns and cars combined.

Shut up and stitch

The Gun Violence Problem is in everybody's 'Lane.' Unfortunately, 80% of Gun Violence is Illegal Guns used Illegally. 17% is Legal Guns used Defensively, and 3% is suicide, accidents & etc. That is still just less than 2% of the tragedy of the Motor Vehicle carnage annually.

I’ve been a small arms instructor since the early 90’s and was a strong supporter of the NRA in my early 20’s. But by the time I turned 30 I realized that they were out of touch with reality. Now in my late 40’s I think it’s time that the NRA needs to go away!

They should stick to medicine and stop becoming politicians. Find an antibiotic for the superbugs.

Doctors malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the USA. Guns not even close

As far as I can tell, not one of those sanctimonious ThisIsMyLane political activist 'medical professionals' has yet offered any MEDICAL solutions to prevent SUICIDE by firearm and/or HOMICIDE by firearm (i.e., both of which they deceptively call 'gun violence'). StayInYourLane

And it’s awesome the way they respond... keep going and at this pace they will destroy the NRA... good riddance... paving the way for true reform... for now; stay strong facing and truly owning these horrible experiences, true skininthegame

Lindafblue You have to think the NRA regrets the original tweet.

But any idiot should be able to have a gun. 😜

But gun violence is more pronounced and devastating in Syria and Yemen than the USA, I think that's where the world should concentrate its attention not the USA

Hey doctors...how about doing us a REAL service and just reduce the cost of your overpriced services. Just ONE doctor visit for most people is more financially painful than the physical pain.

200,000 people are killed each year by doctors and nurses . . . FAR more than by guns. Maybe the NRA should start prescribing medical procedures, as most NRA members use hospitals.

Just the socialist ones who do not believe in freedom.

Probably not what the NRA was going for.

Any doctors speaking about mental illness?

NRA but no comment about JemelRoberson - that incident is ALLL your lane and not a peep. Or a tweet?

Pill pushers against self defense?

The doctors have diagnosed the NRA accurately - they are NUTS!

As an avid gun-owner - I keep tellin' everyone - no gun control leads to no guns. (... if anyone should know how dangerous guns are, it's gun-owners!)

well, then doctorsagainstguns lets talk about this elephant in the room👇

Doesn't change their lack off comprehensive knowledge of the subject!

Doctors should probably focus more on their medical training and try to reduce the deaths caused by their own malpractice

the doctors are not alone. a disgusting, non specialist like the NRA has no right to be so ignorant to experienced, specialist doctors. The nra should really crawl into a hole and hide in a bush. Alot of us want them out of our business and politics.

I encourage the NRA and it’s members to take a stand and boycott all doctors, hospitals, and anything to do with medicine, until the medical community reverses their position.

Voting rights and gun rights should be equal. If one is not allowed to vote they they should not have the right to a gun. If one is not allowed to have a gun then they should not have the right to vote. Clear up both problems with one bill

Seems that the NRA “lane” has essentially become the political hack lane.

They’re nothing compared to the pictures of vehicle accidents.
