This article,
Doctors
Versus Gun Owners: Deadly Statistics, relates that one is more
than 9,000 times as likely to die at the hands of a doctor who has
erred than a gun owner.

Does anyone have statistics on the number of people killed by dentists
each year (either medically, or with a gun they own)?

No surprise there.  Exactly as it should be.  It only sounds relevant until
you actually think about it.  

Oh, and where is this article to be found?

What makes dentists so special?  What about accountants, plumbers and trash
collectors?

By the way, I have a CCW and even I think these stats are silly and
pointless.  You're not going to sway anyone with meaningless stuff like
this.

Why limit the causes of dentist-inflicted death to those two means?
