Dear All;
The next time someone starts throwing around
gun death statistics as a means to repeal gun
ownership laws throw this back at them. This
is from National Safety Council and is compiled
from 2005.
This against a population of some 300 million.
Deaths from assault by firearms including PD shootings: 12,600
Falls And Mechanical Accidental Deaths: 69,368
When are you going to outlaw machinery and tripping
over your own two feet?
Motor Vehicle deaths: 45,343
When are you going to outlaw motor vehicles?
Intentional Self-Harm: 32,637
When are you going to ban all the things people
use to commit suicide? (Knives - tall buildings - ropes)
Accidental Poisoning: 23,618
When are you you going to outlaw all poisons?
Remember when seconds count the police are just minutes away.
