Do we need more Doctor control and Less gun control?

Doctors vs Gunowners

Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B)  Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C)  Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
============

Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.  (Yes, that's 80
million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI
============
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.
============
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

We must seek to impose 'Doctor Control' before this gets completely out of
hand!

I read a stat somewhere so dont' hold me to it, it may be bad info, but I read that 2 out of every 3 doctor related death is because the patient either recieved the wrong medication, or the doc gave them medication that killed them.  I think that the meds need to go and doctors need to go back to treating patients based on what is wrong with them rather than their cut of the pharmacutical sales.  JMO.  A lot of doctors these days are nothing more than overpriced drug dealers.
