Which is more dangerous, a gun owner or your doctor?

[Arthur]

I found this on the web.  Some interesting stats.  

"STOP THE DANGER!!!  BAN DOCTORS TODAY!  CALL YOU CONGRESSMAN!
Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician.... 0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)
Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) 1,500.
Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than
gun owners. Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one doctor.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors
before this gets out of hand. I have withheld the statistics on lawyers
for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical aid."

WOW!!  So what if your doctor is a gun owner?!!      

SELAH!!

That info is quite a coincidence!  Just last week my doctor, Dr. Finkelstein, came over for chicken, and after we finished, he took a tongue depressor and chunked it in to a major artery!  I died of course...

Luke,

     You laugh!  ...and so do i !!

     But, having worked in a hospital (a GOOD hospital) for about nine years, i have seen some VERY scary mistakes made by doctors and other hospital associates.  i have seen enough unnecessary deaths and prolonged suffering to last forever.
     While my faith in the Lord enables me to anticipate death without fear, i would prefer to be, and to see my loved ones, at a firing range than in a hospital-- it's safer.
