Guns & Doctors C&P

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) So 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 .00001875.

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 AT LEAST ONE 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!

    Truly a classic, it's been posted several times (with "doctor" in the subject, perhaps a few more times with different titles).

    I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

    There are a lot of 'accidental' discharge deaths
    for insurance purposes (actually, suicides) after
    large policies have been taken out. The DC's
    usually read: Gun discharge while being cleaned
    by decedent.[:0]

    I clearly stated that it is a classic, so I'm not sure how it kills any joy to demonstrate that fact with evidence.
