Doctors:
(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.

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) 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 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.

A concerned citizen!
