Actually German Shepards attack and injure far more people than American Terriers (Pit bulls). And the record of charging them is dismal at best.
I do not recall any owners of stolen vehicles charged when the vehicle ends up killing or injuring someone either.
Doctors rarely go to jail for mistreatment or even lose their license to practice.
I whole heartedly agree that guns or ANY dangerous item should be stored safely.
I also believe that guns are an easy political target and unfairly targeted to gain political points when there are many other areas that could be targeted to save people's lives. ie: smoking (ban), high traffic speeds (govenors),smog(not so easy),junk food, etc, etc.
Also , the stats on Doctors/guns are not verified, as stated. They were just interesting. I don't believe it said anything about robbing a 7-11 with a Doctor pointed at the clerk. I am sure a knife, baseball bat, crowbar, tire iron, acid, needle , or other items used work just fine.
So don't worry, be happy.
