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 and 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
.0000188

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, BUTAlmost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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, We withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention

Is there no end to your great knowledge Sarge?
Rumour has it you highly respected President Obama has taken advice from our Prime Minister and gun laws in the US will soon be the same as ours in the UK. Only the State Police will be allowed to carry guns! :lol: :lol:

Actually, Sarge, we don't have to ban doctors, they're all going to be leaving as a result of the Affordable Health Care Act.

I didn't see anything in my post title about an ' alert ' but thanks for the news. In fact, the original title FUNNY, nothing to do about statistics.

Don't forget to ban cars, step ladders, alcohol, tobacco, all prescription medications as well. But, you will still have your gun to play with and fantasize about. Talk about anything in the world except the real issue. The NRA statement yesterday was pure cowardice. The National Retard Association cruises on saying, "now is not the time to talk about this". Make your argument to the parents of the kids in Newtown. I wanna see you stand there in front of them and lay out that line of crap.
