(A)  The number of physicians in the  U.S. is

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

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 
.0000188

Statistics courtesy of FBI 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

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 9,000 times more likely 
to be killed by a doctor as 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!
