Subject: Oh, Doctor!

The number of gun owners in the US is approximately 80,000,000.
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 approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

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 out of hand.

As a public health measure, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers
for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention. :p
