Do you use your license if you hurt someone in a car accident? Sometimes I guess?

Sometimes those bastards look at your private medical history and take away your damned license even if you are a good driver!

The societal cost of just one gun homicide averages $5 million, according to the institute. That includes $1.6 million in lost work; $29,000 in medical care; $11,000 on surviving families’ mental-health treatment; $397,000 in criminal-justice, incarceration and police expenses; $9,000 in employer losses; and $3 million in pain, suffering and lost quality of life.

Dividing the $174 billion total by the number of guns in the U.S. -- 270 million as reported by the United Nations’ International Small Arms Survey -- the institute calculated the cost to society of each civilian-owned firearm in the U.S. at more than $644.

The impact of gun deaths and injuries go well beyond heartbreak to include billions of dollars of losses to the economy. The cost of U.S. gun violence in work lost, medical care, insurance, criminal-justice expenses and pain and suffering amounted to as much as $174 billion in 2010, according to data compiled by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation in Calverton, Maryland.
I'm not sure how you figure in the cost of the lost work and then also figure in the cost of the additional work for the doctors and psychiatrists.Also LOL at including $3 million for pain, suffering and lost quality of life.

What's the incremental cost compared to non-firearm homicides? That's a perfectly reasonable question.ETA: The Harvard study by Kates/Mauser already proved gun control is counter productive.

That's a perfectly reasonable question.ETA: The Harvard study by Kates/Mauser already proved gun control is counter productive.Firearms are estimated to be responsible for 70-80% of all homicides. Maybe no one has looked into non-firearm homicide costs because eliminating fists isn't reasonable.
$3 million for pain and suffering just seems pretty high. I really would like to see how that number was obtained before I even begin to believe it. I mean Paul Moscow didn't even give a link to the study.
