Doctors vs Guns
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
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,
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!!!

Ok so I am more likely to get accidentally killed by a doctor. What about intentionally what do those statistics look like?

It is better to die on your feet than to live forever on your knees.

i know my legally owned gun is intensionally gonna kill the bad guy pointing his illegal gun. so 1 for 1 = 100%

You may not like guns. You may choose not to own one. That is your right.
You might not believe in God. That is your choice.
However, if someone breaks into your home at 3AM the first two things you are going to do are:
1) Call someone with a gun.
2) Pray they get there in time."

Since many die in auto crashes every year, I think we should just ban owning cars personally...would fix the over weight American society issue at the same time!

I agree, everyone should ride bicycles so I seem less lame when I say I ride a bike all day every day!Twinkeltoes wrote:Since many die in auto crashes every year, I think we should just ban owning cars personally...would fix the over weight American society issue at the same time!
