Original Note:
The post is clearly referring to "medically assisted death," not medical malpractice. Canada's MAID resulted in 7,446 deaths in 2020. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230213/dq230213c-eng.htm Of 13,620 US firearm murders that year, only 3% were reported as involving a rifle, the category which includes so-called "assault weapons." https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/
