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) 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.
This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!
Please alert your friends to this Alarming threat.
We must ban doctors Before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
If you going to forward this e-mail to your doctor I advise you to wait till after your annual checkup
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!

i wonder what the percentage would be if everyone had a gun INSTEAD of a doctor? if you had to get rid of one, which would it be? for how long?
