The Firing Line
Doctors Versus Guns
Uploaded on March 11, 2010Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.
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 .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI.
So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
I didn't create this just copied from authors unknown.

If anyone has a source with both these in it can you post it?
It also would be interesting to see how many legally owned guns cause deaths (not including suicides). If you take out the guns criminals own illegally I bet there is a very small number.
Unload your guns before the house and adjust safety protocol for kids of all ages. Request a copy of the videos for all of your and your families surgeries, the first thing a surgeon does is erase botched surgeries-THIS IS INSIDE INFO- Get your gear in gear and don't let bad surgeons get away with ruining your health, or life. They show up fresh from vegas and don't have to take drug test, but they will kill you and blame another factor and cover up the evidence.
I accept as a fact that the anti-gun people will skew the facts any way that makes them look better.
At my church in Georgia, the pastor had this poster on the wall. He was an anti-gun type. The poster had gun-related murders posted by country. It listed the USA as having 2,500 (for the year it was made), and a list of declining numbers down to Switzerland, which was listed as 2.
We had had a couple of reasonably civilized discussions on the matter, and I asked him if he did any research on it. I brought up the fact that every able-bodied male in Switzerland was a trained member of the reserves, and a great many households there had an automatic rifle in them. I pointed out that may have a bearing on why there were so few.
Imagine dat!
funny how that happens... i'll have to share your post with my buddy who just graduated med and is starting his residency
Great post DakotaMan!!
And what's the percent of deaths do to responsible gun owners I wonder?
Good news, I just cancelled my doctors appointment haha
