Gun Control
vs
Doctor control
The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year is 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health and Human
Services)
Now Think About This:
The number of gun owners in the U. S. is 80,000,000.
The number of accidental deaths per year (all ages groups) is 1,500.
The number of accidental deaths per gun owners is .0000188.
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.
It’s obvious we must ban doctors NOT guns!
As a public health measure we have withheld the
statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock would cause
people to seek medical attention.
