DOCTORS vs. GUN OWNERS  Doctors

(A)  The number of physicians in the USA is 700,000.

(  Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.

©  Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171

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

Now think about this:

Guns

(A)  The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.

(  The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

©  The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188

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

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.

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!

Actually a buddy of mine from Horseheads posted the joke on our site.  I thought it might bring a few chuckles here, so I re-cycled it.

This first circulated when a lot of medical professionals started claiming guns had to be banned as a public health hazard.

The pro-gun forces publicized this info to counter their assault on guns.  The doctors dropped the whole idiotic idea after that.

Wow, thanks for the warning.  And, to think I was going to visit one of those psycho killers today!

I posted the same thing on a forum somewhere else and people flipped.  They said I was defacing the doctors image and that I had no right to put that up.  Yeesh.  It was funny.  Thanks for posting
