Most of us have read that in 2005 guns killed 30,000 people, 18,000 of which were suicieds as I have read. I don't know how many of those kills were police officers in-action or other LEOs, or how many were self-defense. The statistic as I understand it that guns are used at minimum 400,000 times a year to defend body and life, though not entirely sure.
The key point of this post is that as I understand it is that 300,000 people are killed on the road every year and a million more injured. Most of us gunnies use this argument when people want to say that we should get rid of guns to keep people from killing. But I wonder how many people die because of:
Sex: unprotected, protected, (like from Sexually transmitted diseases)
Cigarettes: cancer, falling asleep and burning up in a fire
Alcohol: liver cancer, alcohol poison, drunk driving
Power tools: injuries and deaths
Chocolate: High Cholesterol and obessity
Cheese: (got this one from "Thank You for Smoking")
Just some ideas, after my exams are over I plan on doing some research. Imagine some lefty anti going on about guns killing people and retorting "Well sex kills...Just look at Africa...we all need to stop having sex...well you antis need to stop having sex and we'd all be alright after fifty years." LOl.
