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.
