Gun Deaths Are Now Outpacing Traffic Deaths In 21 States

[IcebergSlim]

More people died from guns than from motor vehicle accidents in 21 states in 2014, according to a report released this week.

That is a disturbing statistic, especially when you compare car ownership to gun ownership.

Ammosexuality ain't free....

The NRA gunrunners need to be stopped.

You Gun Grabbers never quit do ya'? That's OK, we 2nd Amendment Advocates never quit either.

Prescription Drugs More Deadly Than Car Accidents, Guns, and Suicide

America is in the throes of a prescription drug epidemic. More people die every day from that addiction than gunshot wounds, car accidents, or suicide—with 100 people losing their lives daily as a result of misusing medication.
The National Institute of Drug Abuse has some pretty shocking statistics detailing just how bad America’s addiction has become. For example: the US, which holds 5 percent of the world’s population, is responsible for 75 percent of global prescription drug use; 52 million people over the age of 12 have used this medication for purposes outside of what they are intended for; enough painkillers were prescribed in 2010 to medicate every American adult every four hours for a month; over half of these pills are obtained for free from a friend or family member; there are 5.1 million abusers of painkillers, 2.2 million who illegitimately take tranquilizers, and 1.1 million needlessly popping stimulants.

They're also heavily regulated. Guns should be, at least, well regulated...you know, like it says in the 2nd Amendment.

There is one automobile for every two people, 1 gun for every 3.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Is Chicago one of `em?

Chicago isn't a state...but it is a city right next door to states with lax gun laws.

Well, then Chicago oughtta change their laws.

The NRA never ran guns to Mexico.

Our lovely govt does though.

Okay...lol...I'll ask stopped from doing what exactly?

 

[Lakhota]

NRA gun nutters are the biggest threat to my future gun rights!

 

[Mad Scientist]

Well, at least prescription drugs are regulated.

So those deaths are acceptable then?

Don't worry, Obama's in for almost another year. Guns will catch up.

Being insane, you won't have any future gun rights ...

^^^ 2nd amendment reading comprehension fail, or are you intentionally twisting the meaning of "regulated". Here I'll help you, regulated e.g. organized. Are you therefore proposing that we should organize gun owners? I'm pretty sure the lefts heads would explode if we did that.

Acceptable? You mean is it better to have prescriptions drugs regulated than not regulated? Yes, it is.

You should turn in your muskets and peyote before you shoot your horse.

Yep, thanks to NRA gunrunners who keep them supplied.

Picked up a few more handguns and rifles a few weeks ago.

As did I...going to pick up a Taurus Judge Tracker that I've been eyeing for awhile.

My wife also got some very nice guns for Christmas. Her birthday is tomorrow, and of course, she has her heart set on the most expensive Sig in the gun case at the local gun shop...but you know what they say...happy wife, happy life...so I suspect it's coming home with us.
