Doctors:
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician are 0.171.

***************************************************
Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 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 0.000188.
***************************************************
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand.
Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."
***************************************************
Fact: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
Out of 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 - thus causing more needless deaths........
