Title: Gun control:
Post by: Calandale on March 09, 2008, 05:33:22 PM

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.

 
                             (Calculation) 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.


(Calculation) 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 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 withheld the statistics on


lawyers


for fear the shock would cause


people to panic and seek medical attention


Got an e-mail with this. Thought I'd share.

I think I need to get me a gun to protect myself from the Doctors :laugh:

In all seriousness most legal gun owners are very safe and responsible about how they handle them
