Here are some stats
A recent article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer concerning accidental deaths caused by physicians, from research of Laura Key USA. This triggered a chain of thought that resulted in the person cruising the web finding some statistics and doing a few calculations.
Number of physicians in the US = 700,000
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year = 120,000
Accidental deaths/physician = 0.171
Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000
Number of accidental gun deaths/year (all age groups) = 1,500
Accidental deaths/gun owner = 0.00001875
Ratio 0.171 / 0.00001875 = 9120
Therefore, Doctors are approximately 9000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
