Should you be more afraid of doctors or guns?

Doctors:

(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171

Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 90,000,000
(B) The total number of accidental gun deaths per year is 1,500
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188

Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners!
