Once doctors are banned, then we work on banning them damn screwdrivers.

I knew I saw those numbers before. I quoted them on another thread that got spoofed, but then couldn't remember where I'd seen them.
Yes it is time to start taxing those doctors cause more deaths than bullets. I think $10.00 per doctor per year should be a good start.
Forget the bullet tax, let's tax the doctors!
