Doctors vs. Gun owners

Onving net een email van een Amerikaanse vriend, die volgende vergelijking op het internet ontdekte:

Doctors vs. Gun owners
Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.

Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
(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.
