Gun deaths vs..........

[Rick300]

I didn't want to muck up the Laughs thread so I started a new one. But it got me to thinking and I decided to look up some stats. Not shown are the rates for obesity and smoking which are enormous. Makes me want to puke when I hear all the BS on the news about "gun violence". Maybe we should ban cheeseburgers.

No one out there that is anti gun will want to see this. They just want to push the numbers they see on social media and not truthful numbers. Reminds me of school, they teach what they want you to hear or know.

 

[Emmett Dibble]

The vast majority of the firearm deaths are suicide.... so if you could just "magically" make firearms disappear, there would be a large increase in poisonings and auto accidents.

 

[STORM2]

Look up malpractice and medical error deaths.

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

It didn't matter that children drowning out numbered children COVID fatalities. It's part of a LARGER(worldwide) agenda, and U.S. constitutional rights aren't part of the plan.

 

[FNSafari]

Remove firearm suicides and the number shrinks drastically

I was going to start a new thread titled “Is this our future?” I was doing some research about an upcoming fishing trip to Canada and had thrown my folding Buck knife in my suitcase. I thought I should check their knife laws. It seems they’ve outlawed a lot of guns and now they’re going after knives. Wearing a knife on your belt in Canada can get you in trouble. They don’t have the 2nd Amendment and the liberals are running wild. I found this News article:

I think the other category is where crime, drug, and boo boo's (mistakes and such) at the hospital get lumped?

I wonder if life insurance data would be more accurate.
No reason to trust anything from the CDC..

If one is that concerned, don't have children.

There are many US locations where knives with blades over 3" are banned. Are baseball bats next?

2030:
Cop: “Sir, that knife is over 3” in length. You’re under arrest.”
Me: “It’s a steak knife!”
Cop: “It’s over the legal limit and is a dangerous weapon! You have to come with me!”
Me: “ Can I finish my steak? The waitress just brought it.”
