A good comparison since the local gun bans are being lifted.
 

Somebody posted this on another forum, figured I would share.

Doctors vs. Gun Owners

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 legal 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.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT almost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!

So please remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do". :lol:
