Guns vs. Doctors

A recent article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer concerning accidental deaths caused by physicians, from research of Laura Key USA. This triggered a chain of thought that resulted in the person cruising the web finding some statistics and doing a few calculations.

Number of physicians in the US = 700,000

Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year = 120,000

Accidental deaths/physician = 0.171

Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000

Number of accidental gun deaths/year (all age groups) = 1,500

Accidental deaths/gun owner = 0.00001875

Ratio 0.171 / 0.00001875 = 9120

Therefore, Doctors are approximately 9000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

QUOTES TO REMEMBER

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. � JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821)
