The U.S. is number 28 in gun homicides with 2.97 per 100,000

112 men died building the Boulder damn. That was a government project. The attitude towards safety wasn't the same in those days as it is today. So blaming the private sector for industrial accidents is obviously just propaganda. Government wasn't any better. Blaming private corporations for workplace deaths prior to WW II is the work of demagogues.

I'm reasonably sure my Dad was not working on the Boulder Dam when he came into contact with Asbsestos... Most of it was in private sector projects, and the companies that made it knew it was a carcinogen as far back as the 1920's. So another failed argumet.

You know, you keep whining about the government, they aren't going to send you your disability check, Cleetus.

The Pinto's legacy was affected by media controversy and legal cases surrounding the safety of its gas tank design; a recall of the car in 1978; and a later study examining actual incident data that concluded the Pinto was as safe as, or safer than, other cars in its class.[7]

Your claims about the Pinto turned out to be a big media smear.

What a surprise.

I suspect the people burned to death in Pintos thought differently.

Pinto Madness | Mother Jones

Why did Sandra Gillespie's Ford Pinto catch fire so easily, seven years after Ford's Arjay Miller made his apparently sincere pronouncements—the same seven years that brought more safety improvements to cars than any other period in automotive history? An extensive investigation by Mother Jones over the past six months has found these answers:

Fighting strong competition from Volkswagen for the lucrative small-car market, the Ford Motor Company rushed the Pinto into production in much less than the usual time.
Ford engineers discovered in pre-production crash tests that rear-end collisions would rupture the Pinto's fuel system extremely easily.
Because assembly-line machinery was already tooled when engineers found this defect, top Ford officials decided to manufacture the car anyway—exploding gas tank and all—even though Ford owned the patent on a much safer gas tank.
For more than eight years afterwards, Ford successfully lobbied, with extraordinary vigor and some blatant lies, against a key government safety standard that would have forced the company to change the Pinto's fire-prone gas tank.
By conservative estimates Pinto crashes have caused 500 burn deaths to people who would not have been seriously injured if the car had not burst into flames. The figure could be as high as 900. Burning Pintos have become such an embarrassment to Ford that its advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson, dropped a line from the end of a radio spot that read "Pinto leaves you with that warm feeling."
 
You do when you declare against the USA and remove yourself from its jurisdiction and LEO reach.

If a citizen in Kanapolis defies LEO and holes up in his fortress in the hills, a drone is most appropriate in removing him from the scene.

Ever heard of due process and a right to a fair and speedy trial?
What would be a reason for you too support overthrowing the government?

You would be resisting apprehension at the risk of LEO lives, and the LEO has the legal as well as ethical duty to take the necessary measures.
