(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.

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
(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 .000188
Statistics courtesy of the FBI

Ergo. doctors are 95 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Anyone can play with numbers to "prove" their hypothesis.

Laws are useless. Criminals, by definition, are people who don't care about laws. The only thing preventing me from going on a murder spree with a gun is the same thing preventing you from going on a murder spree with Krav Maga, we are both rational, reasonable people. You follow your self defense discipline, I'll follow mine. We both have to look at ourselves in the mirror in the morning.

It would be nice if we could all just get along. I'm all for universal peace, ending world hunger and curing AIDS, hurrah for me , nominate me for a Nobel Prize.
