The gambling addicts certainly can't be held responsible for squandering their family's assets, anymore than alcoholics can be held responsible for the destruction of themselves or their loved ones. The afflicted victims cannot be held accountable, but rather, should be shown sympathy, for they know not what they do. You cannot be held responsible. You see I really don't believe a disease can be affected by choice and these are. You can't do that with cancer.
People can stop reckless behavior.
And now handguns, made of a non-organic material mind you, have some how evolved into an infectious malady, robbing the host of his or her accountability. The DAHI is urging doctors to ask their patients if they have a gun every time they have a physical. If the patient says yes, the doctor is then supposed to tell them about the risks associated with handguns. Of course it is. People are weak.
