In light of all the continual complaining about the current version of DarkSpace I feel is my responsibility to bring some humor to DarkSpace...
Doctors:
A) The number of doctors in the US is 700,000.
B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
C) Accidental deaths per physician is .1714.
Statistics courtesy of the US Department of Health & Human Services.
**************************************************
Guns:
A) The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes that's 80 million).
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 0.00001875.
Statistics courtesy of the FBI
***********************************************************
So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than 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!!!
Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
*Edit Note* Redid the figures.... would help if I didn't do figures in the wee hours of the night... still the numbers are staggering...

Interesting thoughts.... This was researched on Accidental Deaths only... But to add to that concider this... how many deaths were not reported in each case?
I think I am going to have to look into how many Deaths per Doctors and Gun Owners were on purpose...

Well... if you figure in 11,000 intentional killings vs. 80,000,000 gun owners it still comes out to 0.0001375 deaths per gun owner.
