250,000 people a year are killed by medical mistakes. 11,000 are killed by guns. So you're 22 times more likely to be killed by a medical professional than someone with a gun.
In fact, since there 19,000,000 medical industry employees in the United States, and 300,000,000 guns (and probably somewhere around 100,000,000 gun owners), you have a 1.3% chance of a medical professional killing you and a 0.01% chance of a gun owner killing you.
