Doctors and Guns 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 just over 17%    - Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services.  Now Guns:  A. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.   (Yes, 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 .00188%   - Statistics courtesy of F.B.I. 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! We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!! Out of my personal 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.           7:20:48 PM    comment []
