Services)
Guns-
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is
80,000,000.
Yes, that is 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.
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.
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 have
withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock
would cause people to panic and seek medical
attention.
