I love statistics! 


(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 .0000188

Statistics courtesy of the 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
than by a gun owner!!!

Now if you have more than one doctor,  you're just crap out of luck!!!

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!

ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY!

Actually, there are estimated to be 2-300 million privately owned firearms in the US (and it and rises by about 4.5 million per year).  It is also estimated that one in four (adults) owns firearms.

We're number one........ as it should be.   :cooldude:
