Was send this today.

Its amazing how statistics can be interpreted/manipulated!!!

 

 Doctors vs. Gun Owners

Doctors

(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.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now think about this:

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.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FACT:  NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,

BUT

Almost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

We must ban doctors

before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Out of concern for the public at large,

I withheld the statistics on

lawyers

for fear the shock would cause

people to panic and seek medical attention

Good e-mail on the day of the gun registry vote..... I'm afraid that waste of tax dollars is here to stay.

Apparently we should all be getting rid of our doctor and buying a gun as it's clear that guns are safer!

There are three types of lies.  Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. - Mark Twain.

This is as "loaded" and "doctored" as it gets as far as stats go.

As long as everyone who reads this does so with a grain (or full bag) of salt, I think we can all get a laugh out of it.  lol

I feel a lot better going into a gun shop than going to my doctor, never had the gun shop guy stick his middle digit up my rectum.
