Guns vs Doctors

- Number of gun owners in the USA: 80,000,000
- Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500
- Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188

- Number of physicians in the USA: 700,000
- Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000
- Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171

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

Fact: Not everyone has a gun, but sooner or later everyone has a doctor.

Remind your friends: Guns don't kill people, doctors do.
