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

Now think about this:

Guns

(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

.0000188

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So,statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

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

Therefore, '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 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor than by 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,

We withheld the statistics on lawyers

for fear the shock would cause

people to panic and seek medical attention!

I never liked this statistic. It is misleading. It's fun to post, but don't use it in a real conversation/debate.
