Correct.

False.

From the article you posted the link:

<q>
-- There are 700,000 physicians in the United States.
-- There are 120,000 accidental deaths in the United States caused by
physicians every year, and the accidental death percentage per physician is
0.171.
-- There are 80 million gun owners in the United States.
-- There are 1,500 accidental deaths from guns every year, regardless of age
group, and the accidental death percentage per gun owner is 0.0000188.
</q>

So, no, *you* didn't have that column, but I never said *you* had it either.

In any case, it's meaningless. The comparison is nonsense on so many levels
that it's not even wrong.
