Guns... or Not?

Some startling statistics taken from the Benton County News Tribune on the 17th of November 1999:

• Number of physicians in the U.S. 700,000

• Accident deaths caused by physicians per year 120,000

• Accident deaths per physician 0.171

• Number of gun owners in the U.S. 80,000,000

• Number of accident gun deaths per year (all age groups) 1,500

• Accidental deaths per gun owner 0.0000188

Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Shouldn't there be a three-day waiting period on doctors?
