Doctors versus Gun Owners
Here's something to think about:
Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171
(U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)
Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000.
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500.
Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun
owners.
"FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one doctor."
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before
this gets out of hand.
As a public health measure, I have withheld the statistic on lawyers for fear
that the shock could cause people to seek medical aid.
