I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Not even mentioned, was the # of deaths from firearms that are NOT accidental, or the # of deaths from physicians that are NOT accidental. I wonder, when all is said and done, how that skews the ratio. Same as falcon, I'm not for gun control either.

Something to think about:

a. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health and Human Services)

Now think about this:

a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes, eighty-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 .0000188.

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

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 this gets out of hand.
