3, Accidental deaths per physician is .171

Now think about this.

Guns
1, The number of gun owners in the U.S. 80,000,000. (yes that's 80 million)
2, The number of accidental gun deaths per year 1,500.
3, The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188

So statistically speaking, doctors are approximately 9000 times more likely to cause an accidental death compared to 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 statistic.

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!
