Doctors versus gun owners... didja know...
There are 700,000 physicians in the United States...
Number of accidental deaths by physicians per year are 120,000...
which makes the average number of accidental deaths per physician to be 0.171...
(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.)
Now consider these stats...
There are approximately 80 million gun owners in the United States...
The number of accidental deaths, per all age groups, in the United States per year is 1,500...
which means that every gun owner in America has killed .000188 persons per year...
(Statistics courtesy of the F.B.I.)
So, statistically, doctors are 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Fact number three: not everyone in America owns a gun (though they should),but everyone will see a doctor. Before your next appointment, consider this: You are 900 times more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a gun owner.
So, please, alert all your family and friends of this new threat to our health. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!
The new mantra for gun owners should be, "Guns don't kill people-- doctors do."
(Out of concern for the public-at-large, I have withheld the stats on lawyers out of fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.)
Bless God, God bless.
