Question

Interesting fact


Number of physicians in the U.S...700,000
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year....120,000
Accidental deaths per physician.......0.171

Number of gun owners in the U.S...........80,000,000
Number of accidental gun deaths per year......1,500
Accidental deaths....per gun owner .......0.0000188

gun
owners.

Answer 1

A significant percentage of the physician related deaths by simple neglect and carelessness. Just look it up.

And guns DO save lots of lives and prevent lots of crimes. According to Professor Gary Kleck who is a professor of criminology, Americans STOP a crime about 2.5 million times a year in this country. They do us a lot of good, and don't cost nearly as much as treatment by a doctor does!

Answer 2

Ah, yes, but you forget the 35,500 others who are INTENTIONALLY killed by guns per year. I bet the number of intentional deaths involving doctors is very low.

Unless the doctor kills you with a handgun, in which case you get the best (worse) of both worlds.

Answer 3

How many more people would die from gunshots if it weren't for the doctors pulling the bullets out? And what are you doing reading news from 1999, huh, Hoss?

Answer 4

guns havent saved any ones life, unless its a freak accident and they got shot but the gun was in the way and they didnt get hurt or something. physicians do. out of the 120,000 people that died a million + are saved.

Answer 5

If we were to be more careful and considerate ....it wouldn't be that bad and besides 'earth' would be a much nicer place to live in...God bless!!

Answer 6

neither lib by get a grip will you...
