(B) The number of accidental gun deathsper year, all age groups,is1,500.

So, statistically, doctors are approximately9,000 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.

Oh I love this post. Never saw these stats before! Thanks for sharing them. Hope you're having fun wherever you're jet-setting to!
I love your sense of humor beav!
Let me know when you're in DC or Baltimore. :)
You are even more amazing than I thought. I know its satire, but what enjoyable ambiguity. Thanks for the option to die of humor. As for the kinds of people in the world, there are only two that matter, those who eat all the cake they want and those who cannot eat all the cake they want. May all the conflicts of today lead to everyone being in the cake eating group. Amen. Thanks Oh Great One!
