Well I was just being snarky but for the most part doctors are not good for your health. If you go to a doctor they feel morally obliged to find something wrong with you and give you a drug for it.
Doctors vs. Gunowners
Doctors
Gunowners
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services
Statistics courtesy of FBI
The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000
The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000
(Yes, that’s right, 80 million)
Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year: 120,000
Accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups: 1,500
Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171
Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.000188
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 to our safety.
