Doctors Verses Gun Owners

A RARE EMAIL I POST. YOU DECIDE.

Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the US 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Gun Owners

(A) The number of gun owners in the 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 0.000188.

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. This is especially salient, for me at least, since the federal government has recently taken over healthcare. Moral of the story? Lock and load.

  1. (C) ....0.000188.

    Should be 0.0000188. Well, as our heroine Hillary once said, "Math is hard." ;)

    More importantly, He is Risen!
