Now think about this:

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

.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.

We must ban doctors

before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large,

I withheld the statistics on

for fear the shock would cause

people to panic and seek medical attention. 

Take THAT Michael Moore!

Not so funny - Michael Moore isn't opposed to guns.

But as to the original post:  Cute and clever, but, like most bumper sticker logic, it is complete statistics abuse.  Funny anyway, but there are unfortunately some people out there that are somehow convinced by bad math and think this little joke constitutes a great argument for something-or-other.   *sigh*

I'm just gonna edit this post, because I'm starting to fail at sensing sarcasm myself...
