Doctors vs Gunowners


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.

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of
Health and Human Services.

/>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now think about this:

Guns

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S.
is 80,000,000.
(Yes, that's 80 million)


(B) The number of accidental gun deaths
per year, all age groups, is
1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths
per gun owner is
.000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI

/>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, statistically, doctors are approximately
9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

/>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

/>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT
ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

/>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Please alert your friends
to this
alarming threat.

We must ban doctors

before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!



Out of concern for the public at large,
I withheld the statistics on
lawyers

for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention!

The basis of the argument is that guns inherently are evil and not to be possessed by the public. GUNS kill people they eliminate the whole person thing from the equation - I repeat guns are the target here - not the owners. That being said I would think that most gun owners possess/own numerous guns - I for instance am not a hunter or sportsman. I do have a vocation that requires I carry a gun - I am comfortable with that however, as a what I would consider a 'no-gun' guy - I have a staggering number of guns, AK-47 assault rifle, 1943 P-38 from WWII with nazi war eagles on it, 2 glock model 22 .040 gen 1 and gen 3, .306 sniper rifle bolt action, 2 .22LR Rifles - a whooping seven! and no shotguns!! So conservatively lets say on average every gun owner has 3 (a paltry 3), I know guys who have 100's, I know people with one, but let's use three as our magic number. 3 x 80 million = 240 million divided by 1500 (accidental deaths by gun) = ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ?????? = .00000625 !!! I mean what the hell? Less than 7 per every 10 million! Unreal!
