Best Answer

Depending on the range/distance between you and the gunman, and your experience in hand-to-hand combat, you can either subdue the gunman or comply to his wishes.

You should remain calm. Sometimes, talking a violent person "down" is best, although it can be complicated. So the best strategy is to honestly relate to the offender as a human being. People have relied on all sorts of ways to get an offender to listen to reason or emotion or both, some with greater success than others. For examples:

1. In the news in recent years, a woman talked to her home invader who was holding a gun on her; she used The Bible to talk to him about his life and choices.

2. A young mother who had her toddler with her used her child, telling the gunman that the child could easily get hurt by mistake and asking him to let them both go. She was successful.

3. Police and ministers often talk to the gunman about important family relationships. It's harder to think violent thoughts when thinking about someone you love and who loves you.

Important points

1. A gun is more powerful than someone untrained in hand-to-hand combat.

2. A gun can accidentally discharge during a struggle.

3. Arguing can anger the gunman.

4. Never go from Location A to Location B if you can prevent it. Never willingly get into a car if you can avoid it.

5. Find the gunman's humanity if you can. Be real; be honest.

6. Nothing you do -- or don't do -- can guarantee you won't be shot.

7. Trust your instincts and use them.

Your question is rather vague. If you mean what should a physician do if someone OWNS a gun- I would ask why they should do anything. Owning a gun is not an illness, and is a right guaranteed to Americans. About 1/3rd of he households in the US own at least one gun- and I know several doctors that own guns.

Should gun makers pay for the cost of gun violence Explain?

No. Making a gun manufacturer pay for the cost of gun violence is like saying a car manufacturer should pay for injuries any time a car is in a wreck, or saying that a knife manufacturer should pay for injuries anytime someone is stabbed.
