[QUOTE="astrocreep96, post: 7104395, member: 22748"] Well, to begin with, no clear estimate of the number of gun owners exists, but the highest reports I've seen come out of Harvard's School of Public Health and place it closer to 54 million. That alone raises the number of "accidental gun deaths per owner," a metric which isn't even defined in this email. Further, the email suggests that the 700,000 physicians each share a part in the 120,000 accidental deaths, and it also ignores how many hospital/clinic visits were performed total. What the email doesn't tell you is that those 700,000 physicians performed something in the neighborhood of 1 billion "visits" (from simple general physician office visits to surgeries). It also doesn't tell you that the accidental deaths predominately occur in patients who's overall well being is significantly diminished thereby leaving them more likely to die in any office/hospital visit before the physician even has time to do anything (or it may simply be out of their control). They are loading the numbers (numbers which, again, they don't even substantiate) by selectively picking which ones make their point appear relevant. [/QUOTE]
