Gun Deaths Are Now Outpacing Traffic Deaths In 21 States

Think it means would have had.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

It doesn't get much simpler than that

Bullshit. It could have been made a LOt more simple.

As in, why didnt the framers simply write; the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

All that shit about the militia just confused the issue.

If that was all the framers wanted, that people have guns, they could have made it a LOt more simple in wording.

Unless it was misinterpreted. Which I believe it was. But ah well.

Some studies say it's only a matter of time before this trend extends nationally.

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

The Violence Policy Center, a research group that advocates for gun safety legislation, has found in past reports that traffic fatalities have been declining due to what the organization calls "effective regulation," such as safety prevention initiatives, improved vehicle and highway design, and efforts from the government and advocacy groups. Firearm-related deaths, meanwhile, have only climbed.

The VPC analyzed the latest available data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which tallies all gun deaths, including suicides and accidents, and all fatalities in car crashes. As the number of people who die in car crashes goes down, the organization says, the number of people who die from guns is going up needlessly.

"Firearms are the only consumer product the federal government does not regulate for health and safety," VPC Legislative Director Kristen Rand said in a press release. "Meanwhile, science-based regulations have dramatically reduced deaths from motor vehicles in recent decades. It’s well past time that we regulate firearms for health and safety just like all other consumer products."

When VPC first compared firearm and traffic deaths in 2009, gun deaths exceeded fatal motor vehicle accidents in only 10 states. That number more than doubled in just six years.

How will NRA's Wayne LaPierre spin these facts?

Cry me a river Washington redskin, this country has much bigger fish to fry.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Liberals don't know WHAT they're talking about and on top of that are EASILY confused.

They don't know the difference between:

1. The Second Amendment.
2. 1968 Gun Control Act.
3. 1986 Amendment to Gun Control Act.

Here are the stats on some common types of death....it would be better to start a crusade to teach people how to walk upright...and save them from falling deaths...you would save more lives.....

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr64/nvsr64_02.pdf

guns, drowning and poisoning....

If you cared about people....you would push to ban the following...

So...accidental gun deaths have been coming down as more people own and carry guns for self defense....now 12.8 million people actually carry guns for self defense......on their person, and the accidental gun death rate is going down, not up....

I repeat from the OP:

"Meanwhile, science-based regulations have dramatically reduced deaths from motor vehicles in recent decades. It’s well past time that we regulate firearms for health and safety just like all other consumer products."

Wrong...and a lie. Guns must pass safety regulations and are one of the most regulated products on the planet.

 

[Lakhota]

Imagine how rich the auto industry would be if motorheads bought more vehicles after mass traffic fatalities.

Is Chicago one of `em?

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

Wrong..that is another anti gun extremist lie...the reason Chicago has a high gun murder rate is the power the gangs have in chicago politics..........


And riddle me this....Houston has a lower gun murder rate than chicago.....but they have gun stores and people can actually carry guns....their criminals don't have to leave the state to get guns....but again, they have a lower gun murder rate....

And New York and L.A.....they also have a lower gun murder rate than Chicago....are you saying that the criminals in New York and L.A. don't know how to use GPS to find their way to a gun friendly state?

 

[Lakhota]

NRA gunrunners should be in prison!

 

[2aguy]

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

There were over 320 million guns in private hands in 2013.....and a total of 505 accidental gun deaths....

Car accidents...over 35,000..............

Get real....
