CDC: Heroin Deaths Surpassed Firearm-Related Homicides in 2015 - Breitbart

The latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) numbers show heroin deaths surpassed firearm-related homicides for the first time ever in 2015.
The number of heroin deaths was 12,989 and the number of firearm-related homicides was 12,979.

The Washington Post published the CDC numbers, which show the deaths from all opioids combined topped 33,000 in 2015. That means opioid deaths outnumbered firearm-related homicides nearly 3 to 1.

Opioids include heroin and prescription drugs like oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, and oxymorphone.

In November 2015 Breitbart News reported Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) numbers which showed the death rate from all drugs combined–opioid or otherwise–was 46,471 in 2013. For that same year, the death firearm-related death rate–including homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths–was 33,636. So drug-related deaths surpassed all types of gun deaths by nearly 13,000.

Car-related deaths surpassed gun deaths in 2013 as well. There were 33,636 gun-related deaths that year and 35,369 car-related deaths. And Breitbart News reported that Duke University researcher Chris Conover explained that car deaths, when viewed as a percentage, were so much higher than gun deaths that evidence showed that owning a car is “80 percent” riskier than owning a gun.
 
Death by vehicle accidents outnumber firearm-related homicides.

If you put more restrictions on cars, there would be less accidents.

If you put more restrictions on guns, there would be fewer deaths.

If we put more restrictions on lawn mowers and related lawn equipment, with a safety course included, we'd have fewer accidents and deaths also.

How does everyone feel about having to have someone else mow their lawns and hedge for a few hundred dollars every time?

Lawn mower deaths are few and far between. Gun owners should be arrested. All gun owners are basically criminals because guns should be illegal.
 
Heroin needs to be a top priority of the Trump administration. It does not care if you are White or Black rich or poor, if you OD or get some bad shit, you're dead. Mexican Poppy fields are springing up all over Mexico. Yet Another reason we need to tighten up the border. Not just a wall but way more agents, inspectors and patrol.

Afgahnistan is the number one grower of poppy. Obama sent our southern border sensors there to protect the poppy.

More people believe all drugs should be legal and unrestricted.

Overdose deaths is nature's way of cleaning house.

That argument is a fail made by a fool. Do you have ANY idea how many more restrictions have been put on cars since their invention idiot? Do you have ANY clue how many safety items have been invented? And they STILL kill idiot.

Its NOT the gun OR the car you moron its the PERSON.
 
Absolutely, we should outlaw heroin! All it does is ruin lives. It's not something to use recreationally. It always brings death of spirit, self, and sometimes lives. Sad, very sad, indeed.

They kill FAR, FAR fewer people thanks to these regulations. Thank you, this is an excellent argument for gun control, genius.

Gimme a fucking break. Been there, done that. You won't stop the drug trade.

The answer to the heroin problem is the same thing they do in Switzerland. Make safe levels of heroin -- along with clean needles -- available in clinics so that addicts do not die while attempting to ween off, and so that disease isn't spread by dirty needles.

Thanks to this method, heroin deaths and crime related to drugs in Switzerland has dropped precipitously. It's precisely this out-of-the-box thinking that solves difficult problems.

Will we do that? Nah, because we elected an orange ape president, and we have a dumbass electorate that wants to see a big orange-ape solution of more cops/guns/jails/walls and tough-guy talk.

Funny... The only thing the police have ever caught me on is speeding and that was only once in my entire life. As for owning firearms the last time I checked the 2nd Amendment allowed me to purchase and own firearms.....

However I do think there should be a law to arrest others and have them attend mandatory civics classes for a few weeks at $1000 a crack.

When a cop gets listed as a racist for killing an armed terrorist who was in the process of harming as many people as possible THAT'S f#cked up.
