So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners!
Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!
Fact: Not everyone has a gun, but almost everyone has at least one doctor.
Note: Out of concern for the public at large, the statistics on lawyers has been withheld from this report for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
