The sole purpose of this commemorative "dollar" is to honor the Second Amendment as an exercise of free political expression as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Guns don't kill people, doctors do!
Doctors:
(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

Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 90,000,000
(B) The total number of accidental gun deaths per year is 1,500
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188

Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners!
Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do!"
Thank God there are only 0.70 million doctors compared to the America's 90 million gun owners!
Unfortunately, not every American has a gun, but almost everybody has at least one doctor. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!
