Talking about trusting "professionals". Number of physicians in the US = 700,000 Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year = 120,000 Accidental deaths per physician = 0.171 (US Dept. of Health & Human Services) Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000 Number of accidental 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. "Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one Doctor." Taken from the Benton County News Tribune on the seventeenth of November, 1999.
