Doctors
(A) The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%

Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (yes, that’s 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%
Statistics courtesy of the FBI
So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners
Remember, guns don’t kill people, doctors do! (And there’s nothing in the Bill of Rights about them either.)
“...guns don’t kill people, doctors do!”
You’re wise beyond your years...my grandfather told me (and anyone who would listen) that in the ‘50s. Great stats.
Oh, and I pretty much avoided doctors my whole life, thanks to him...
