Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million. The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.0000188.

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.

That number sounds a little high, still funny though.

Kinda funny... but then again - not many people claim "accidental" gun related deaths is a problem. Redo the statistics showing gun related deaths in general

To be fair, he'd also have to redo the statistics to show doctor-related deaths in general.

Like if you were accidentally shot dead by a doctor?

And I see guns more than I see doctors. Funny thing.
