Doctors vs. guns

[Todd]

(A) The number of physicians in the USA 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 US Dept of HSS.)

Now think about this:

Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the USA is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80
`million.
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is
1500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9000 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.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.  before this gets
completely out of hand!

NOTE: Out of concern for the public at large, the statistics on lawyers
was withheld, for fear the shock would cause people
to panic and seek medical attention.

that\'s some interesting information todd..
when my mom was having my sister, she spent 5 weeks in the hospital after giving birth because her doctor induced the labor, caused an infection, neglected it and my mom almost died because of that. you definitely have to be careful with some doctors..especially the one who told me i had pink eye when in fact MY CORNEAS WERE SCRATCHED!!!

as for guns, if owned and used responsibly, i have no problem with them. there have been several guns in my house for years and knowing how to load/fire a gun is a great feeling of relief and protection. if some sicko comes in to my house to rape my dog or something i will know how to kill him
