You also bring up the point that counting just murders is misleading since there are far more acts of violence than there are murders. In the last 15 years there've been nearly two-hundred cases of bombing or arson (completed or attempted) and nearly 3000 cases of directed violence (invasion, assault/battery, vandalism, etc). Also, just counting the murder of doctors is misleading. John Salvi killed two receptionists at two clinics in Boston, are they counted? The numbers I've found show over 20 cases of related murder or attempted murder in the past 15 years. Granted that the incidence has dropped dramatically in the past few years (the majority of violence occurred in the early nineties). This is a good thing and any attempt to indicate that the risk today is as great as the risk then is clearly misleading and should be challenged. But the "farmers and hairdressers" argument put forth in the original is absolutely ridiculous and insulting.
