drs vs guns

FACTS TO PONDER:
(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 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 A DOCTOR.


Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!


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!

Kinda like the stats on overdoses perscription pills as opposed to overdoses on marijuana. Doctor supervision doesn't make it "Safer".

nice view point, there is no reason for gun bans. and even if you did ban guns the black market would still exist and criminals would still have them besides when do criminals follow laws in the first place.

Most doctors are quacks........you must do your homework with doctors......just like getting your car fixed........find out what they have been up to and what is on there record.
As for owning a gun.........if everyone was packing.......less trouble would occur.......because........everyone is packing........makes sense.
