Shocking!!!

Shocking!!!
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 per year.

Now consider this:
A. The number of gun owners in the U. S. is 80,000,000.
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
0.000188 per year.


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 it gets
completely out of hand.

Note: Out of concern for the public at large, I have
withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Each person here that owns a gun usually has more then just one. [smiley=rifle.gif] [smiley=uzi.gif]

Oh Dear!

We had a mass shooting over here a few years ago and following that, personal gun ownership, except in special cases, is illegal.

John

Generally, automatic and semi automatic firearms are banned unless used by the suitably licenced peoples ( police, armed forces, security ). *All other firearms are also licenced and only if a true need can be shown ( eg some farmers can have shot guns etc )

Don't think it can't happen here in the USA.
Responsible gun owners rights are being legislated away every year! Criminals will always have access to guns. . Protect your 2nd amendment rights.

Please understand my comments are simply a statement
of fact. I have no wish to get into a gun debate here as it is not appropriate.
