Doctors vs. Gun Owners
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) Number of 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 .0000188
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.
This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors
before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Now now. Both our wives work for doctors so be careful what you wish for!! If it wasn’t for our two wives, we wouldn’t be able to get out and go riding when they’re at work!! So if we get rid of doctors, WE’D have to be the sole bread winner!!
Actually that was a good post!! I’ve never trusted anyone with a PHD!!

You dont have to worry about pulling it or offending anyone its not a religious post  Actually my father was a doctor and my mother a nurse and the stories will make you think twice. We dont hear a 10th of the scoop. I like the stats.

Say you're sorry and act like you mean it. Then every one goes back to playing with dumptrucks in the sand box before nap time. Now who can spell CAT ? I'm not offended. Just amazed that someone would waste time posting such crap (and that I took time to read it and respond to it).  I am also a gun owner, and believe that the idiot holding the gun is the guilty party, not the weapon, but to make this comparison, or worse yet plagarize someone elses stupid thought makes no sense. JMHO, and you are entitled to yours also.

I thought it was just a humerous twist of statistics. We see it everyday, it is just not so readily recognizeable.
