"Offensive Weapons" in the UK

 Just sayin'! 
Although I find the picture funny, that statistic is still massively besides the point. I bet a shit ton more people go the hospital everyday than own a gun.
15 % of road accidents are dui related.
That means that 85 % is caused by sober drivers !!! HELP TO MAKE OUR ROADS 500 % SAFER AND DRINK BEFORE YOU DRIVE !!!! ( just saying ... )

You'd be surprised  http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/hospital.htm Hospital inpatient care Number of discharges: 36.1 million Discharges per 10,000 population: 1,181.2 Average length of stay in days: 4.9 Number of procedures performed: 48.0 million Hospital outpatient department care Number of outpatient department visits: 96.1 million Outpatient visits per 100 persons: 31.9 Hospital emergency department care Number of emergency department visits: 136.1 million Emergency department visits per 100 persons: 45.1 Number of emergency department visits resulting in hospital admission: 17.1 million Number of emergency department visits resulting in admission to critical care unit: 2.2 million http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states Number of Privately Owned Firearms: The estimated total number of guns held by civilians in the United States is 270,000,0001 Rate of Civilian Firearm Possession per 100 Population: The rate of private gun ownership in the United States is 88.82 firearms per 100 people I'm no statistician but there may even be some overlap in outpatient care & emergency care that would make the actual hospital care ratio even smaller.
