After the Dunblane massacre in 1996, the UK instituted the toughest gun control laws in the world. Gun crimes doubled.

From a friend in the UK

Subject: FACTS TO PONDER

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians 120,000.

(Calculation) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171 Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health 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.

(Calculation) 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.

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!

Max,
If I could stand the cold, South Dakota sounds like a good place to live.

Jim Collins – That is sick just sick. I am surprised that they did that. Sorry to hear that happened to you. Good thing you stood your ground.
