Ive been lurking here for about 6 months or so, and i finally decided to register, i just saw this while randomly browsing around, thought id like to share. Apologies if its old

Think about this:
a. The number of physicians in the US 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) . Therefore, 1 in every 6 doctors will accidentally kill someone this year.

Then think about this:
a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
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 approximately 9,000 times more dangerous
than gun owners.
