This has been floating around for six or seven years at least, but I thought I'd share it anyways since not everyone on the internet has had seen it yet.
Doctors vs. Guns in the U.S.
Number of physicians in the US = 700,000
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year = 120,000
Accidental deaths per physician = 0.171 (Source: U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)
Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) = 1,500
Accidental deaths per gun owner = 0.0000188 (Source: U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms)
Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
We need to hurry up and get some legislation banning doctors from this country before it's too late!
