#3 - My kind of sarcasm...

Number of physicians in the US:

700,000

Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year:

120,000

Accidental deaths per physician:

0.171

(U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Number of gun owners in the US:

80,000,000

Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups)

1,500.

Accidental deaths per gun owner:

0.0000188

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one doctor. Please alert your family and friends to this alarming threat.

We must ban doctors before this alarming trend gets out of hand.

I have withheld the dire statistics about lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical aid.
