Noteworthy Statistics
 

Note the following two sets of statistics:

#1
a. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health & HumanÊ Services)

#2
a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
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.

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR.

NOTE: Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. In the interest of public health, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers, for fear that the shock could cause people to seek risky medical attention.

Food for thought.

Take care,

Unless you live in Texas.... ;)
Practically ALL of us have some sort of firearm, some of us have more than others...:D

Hell yeah!!

You got that one right, Hammer. You know how we gotta keep those rowdys in Mexico in check :D.

Gun control freaks just piss me off. The spew distorted facts from tilted studies that don't reflect the general population. They claim that guns are the root of all kinds of evil. Sure, criminals use guns. But guess what. If they didn't have guns, they'd find something else to use.

I've been using firearms of some sort since I was at the latest 10 years old. I own firearms, and I use them on a regular basis. The day the United States bans the ownership of firearms (a day that will never come unless abuncha Gore/Clinton wanna-be's completely take over congress) is the day I seriously start looking for a new location to lay my head. Of course, even with a liberal government, there's no way they would or could ban firearms in the general public. Do you know how many guns there are just in the state of Texas?? Can you imaging trying to confiscate them? I think not. There isn't enough police and military to do it without a whole lot of drama.

Those wackos out there trying to ban guns oughta pull their heads out of their self-righteous arses and take a look around. More people die every year from automobiles than from guns. Do we ban cars? Nope.

Ok...I'm gonna go run or something now. This is one of those topics that raises my ire.

Good statistic, PKRWUD.

hahaha lol that is some good statistics... :D
I hate doctors, I had to get a needle last summer, and we were joking around how I was afraid... and so he gave me the neddle and then he's like woops I gave you the wrong one, I'll have to give you the right now, I'll be right back. At first I thought it was a joke cause we were all joking around about it. And then he came back with another needle and I was like what the hell is this. And he seriously gave me the wrong needle. I was pretty pissed off, luckily it was a needle I already had so it wasn't anything dangerious, none the less I have to be next to dieing to go to a doctor.
