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.

Health and Human Services.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now think about this:

Guns

(A) The number of 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.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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 the public at large,

I withheld the statistics on

lawyers

for fear the shock would cause

people to panic and seek medical attention!

What happens if you add in intentional deaths?

Do the numbers run the same if you add in, or subtract out depending on how you want to do it, the number of people saved by doctors?

Why is it that gun owners/proponents have to constantly lobby their position? With truly meaningless statistics like this? Or why it's good or why I do etc. etc. etc.

I'm a gun proponent, it's a RIGHT and if gun owners truly feel threatened that we'll lose our right to keep and bear arms, I beleive that their drinking too much kool aid.

Aint gonna happen no way no how, the lobby is too powerful!

my 2cents.

B

I'm convinced I tell ya!

If, God forbid, I ever have a life-threatenin' illness or accident... I'm callin' a gun owner... not no damn doctor!

Thanks for settin' me straight!

+ 10,000 It is a clearly defined right we will NEVER lose. But if the NRA doesnt keep the fear stirred up they lose their empire.

Painfully dumb argument made on the original cut & paste... Painfully.

Average number of people killed in the last 50 years by nuclear bombs blasts = 0... Safer than doctors AND guns!

Oh, and insanely the number of people killed by WATER has to be higher than gun accidents (let's see, drowning, hypothermia, avalanche, iced up plane wings ...). Get rid of all that water in your house!

How many more fallacious arguments would you like me to generate off the top of my head?

True Dat.
That might skew the number considerably ....
