DOCTORS ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN GUNS

These pictures have nothing to do with this blog. The one on top is a partial picture of Dan and Robin's family. Micah is missing his brother Elijah Lincoln. The one on the bottom is Dan a looooong time ago.

I sent the following to the local paper:

"I know you cannot print this but I bet if you did you would increase your readership. And possibly get sued from a left wing loon."

• The number of physicians in the United States is 700,000.
• Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
• Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health &Human Services)

Then think about this:

• The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes, eighty-million!).
• The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500.
• The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.

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

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR.

Alert your friends to this threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. As a public health measure we have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention.

The facts are true! The irony and sarcasm is intentional to show the ridiculousness of those who would take guns away from all Americans. The only country that is ‘better off’ where the citizens don’t own guns is a totalitarian regime. Our forefathers had good reason for making it a constitutional right for the citizens to own guns. If they didn’t, we wouldn’t be a free nation known as the USA today.

From me:

I had a doctor ask me if I had any guns in the house. I asked him if he had any sharp knives in his house. He asked why I would ask such a thing. I said, "You asked a personal question that is none of your business so I thought I would return the favor."

He said, "But guns are dangerous".

I repeated the above statistics to him and he dropped the subject. Other than being a liberal narrow-minded nut he was a nice guy.
