Now think about this:

Guns
The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.

(Yes, that's 80 million..)

Accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups - is 1,500.

The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.

(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.


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 have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

I thought it was funny.

heard it already

hahaha, thats great!

that's entertaining. sounds like something that'd be on The Daily Show

Been in my buddy's profile for a while now, but still amusing.

Not only is that funny, but it is true. I saw that about a year ago and checked into it, the stats are correct and they came from the federal government. All deaths are reported eventualy to the feds.
