>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 
 
So, statistically, doctors are approximately

 
9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

 
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 
 
Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

 
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 
 
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,

 
BUT

 
Almost everyone has at least one doctor.

 
This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

 
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 
 
Please alert your friends

 
to this

 
alarming threat.

 
 
We must ban doctors

 
before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

 
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 
 
Out of concern for the public at large,

 
We withheld the statistics on

 
lawyers

 
 
for fear the shock would cause

 
people to panic and seek medical attention!
