This is in the Joke section for a reason. Don't froth at the mouth about it.
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months,
and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol,
which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should immediately pull out of Washington.
========================================
The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%. Statistics: courtesy of the U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services
The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (yes! that's 80 million).
The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
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 are 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!!!
