Guns-  
Which is more dangerous, Guns or Doctors?



GUNS DON'T KILL – DOCTORS DO

A recent article appeared in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer concerning accidental
deaths caused by physicians, from research of Laura Key USA. This triggered a
chain of thought that resulted in the person cruising the web finding some statistics
and doing a few calculations.

Number of physicians in the US = 700,000;
Accidental deaths caused per year = 120,000;
Accidental deaths/physician = 0.171

Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000;
Number of accidental gun deaths/year (all age groups) = 1,500;
Accidental deaths/gun owner = 0.00001875

Ratio 0.171 / 0.00001875 = 9120

Therefore, Doctors are approximately 9000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
