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. _________________

He just got renewed back into office. I tried. I was not alone, but we just couldn’t convince the STATE DEPARTMENT THAT SHOULD BURN IN, well, you know where. It is very frustrating.
