(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

Gun Owners:

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 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. This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
Out of concern for CS public, I withheld the statistics on Lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

It would be interesting to see if this is a local event?Perhaps we need to include the numbers of how many afghan and iraqi civilians were killed accidentally by american guns.
My dad was a gun owner and a doctor... after seeing all his personal records, he apparently went against the average and didn't kill anyone with either means.
Then again there are many ways of killing people with malpractice, some from the very lives we are supposed to live in a polluted world. Why just pick on the doctors?
So you like to ban all weapons?Perhaps you are right.
puppypower: oh ...theres a difference ?
I mean I saw Russian guns French guns Belgium Guns Chinese Guns Japanese guns Austrian guns English guns German guns and the list goes on ... oh wait thats right i forgot only American guns actually kill people
