Humor from a non-Gun-Owning Friend

Luke · 07-25-2001, 12:00 PM

Received this alert from a friend in Florida who served 35 years in the Air Force as a pilot but doesn't own a gun.

Alarming Statistics...

Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.

Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.

Total deaths per physician.... 0.171

(U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000.

Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) 1,500.

Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188

(* Benton County News Tribune on 17th of November, 1999).

Statistically, doctors are approximately

9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

"Remember, Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least

one doctor."

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban

doctors before this gets out of hand.

Remember guns don't kill people, doctors do.
