Statistics, Doctors and Guns

a. The number of physicians in the United States is 700,000.

b.  Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.

c.  Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health &Human

Services)

Then think about this:

a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes, eighty-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 .0000188.

Statistically, doctors are about 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR.

Alert your friends to this threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out

of hand.

As a public health measure we have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear

that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention.

The facts are true! The irony and sarcasm is intentional to show the ridiculousness of those who would take guns away from all Americans. The only country that is ‘better off’ where the citizens don’t own guns is a totalitarian regime. Our forefathers had good reason for making it a constitutional right for the citizens to own guns. If they didn’t, we wouldn’t be a free nation known as the USA today.
