I think we might need some knife related statistics to add to the following:

Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician.... 0.171
(U.S. 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
(Benton County News Tribune on 17th of November, 1999).

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more
dangerous than gun owners.

"Remember, Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one
doctor."

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban
doctors before this gets out of hand.

Remember guns don't kill people, doctors do!

AREN'T STATISTICS GREAT!!!

I have read this many times in the past little while, but it does bear thinking about. Could it be that focusing on guns and knives is just smoke and mirrors that are being used as a focal point to keep people from thinking about the real problem? They will never be able to stop people from using weapons to hurt and kill each other, but if they can take peoples minds off this fact by focusing on the tool, then for a while at least they can give people the false hope that things will get better if the availability to guns and knives is limited or banned.

The above statistics would change a little if the question asked was, "How many people have been maliciously killed by doctors as compared to people using guns?" I put this forward only to show how statistics can be skewed, not in any way to show support for the stupidity of the gun control movement.
