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
.000188.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

A few points to ponder, the Dept of Health Human Services does not have stats on accidental deaths caused by physicians. Nor does the CDC. The CDC on the other hand does track all unintentional deaths and came up with 120,462. Are you saying that all accidental deaths are caused by doctors? Are physicians responsible for all the 45,343 unintentional motor vehicle deaths as well? These statistics don't make sense. Though on the other side the CDC also reports only 789 accidental deaths by firearms.

Anyways, just thought I'd point that out.
