-Cavet Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> -Cui Bono- From: "DR. C. Ed Copeland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Guns vs. Doctors -- succinct version Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2000 17:59:26 -0700 From: "Angel Shamaya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. <nofill> Email Updates on Gun Issues Education & Pro-Gun Links http://www.keepandbeararms.org "Those who give up their guns to make plows will plow for those who don't."
