Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Not everyone has a gun but almost everyone has a doctor. This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor than by a gun owner! Alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!
