Cars significantly more dangerous than guns in New York, new data shows

Celt · Jul 15, 2019

More people are killed by drunk drivers every year than guns throughout the entire country. More kids are killed in swimming pools every year than by guns, more people are killed by medical malpractice than guns every year. More people are killed with blunt instruments than guns every year. These are just some of the inconvenient facts that the left likes to ignore.

WAY more people in this country are killed by drugs than guns.

On the 4th of July a 4 year old girl fell in her families swimming pool while her parents were falling down drunk.
She is in ICU in a coma with severe and irreversible brain damage.
This happened in my local area.

Heart disease...which many people have at least some control over.

Mom had a warrant for poss of meth and is charged with neglect.
Dad is charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction for his behavior while cops and EMTs were trying to help his daughter.
2 others at the party were charged with various crimes.
Not sure if dad is being charged with neglect or any other charges.

Can't wait to see the spike in data when illegal immigrants get their government mandated drivers license.

Lets see, owning/driving are car is a privilege= lots of death and do nothing.
owning and carrying Firearms is a RIGHT and responsible for less death= guns bad ban them all
OK I got it!

In the area where people are least likely to own a car, you are more likely to be killed by a gun. I wonder what the probability of running into an unregistered, uninsured car is?

Probably better than running into an intelligent liberal democrat.

That’s sad. I hope they get charged and the kid recovers then is taken away.

Exactly. People want to believe that without guns, suddenly they're safe from being killed immediately. There's a ton of things that can kill you immediately, or ways people can end your life immediately that don't include guns, that are as, if not more, effective than firearms in a given context (IE, those van attacks in France a few years back that happened.)

But firearms get the most attention because they make loud noises and scare emotionally fragile people.

People die every minute of everyday. Who cares what the fuck kills them?

people die

Human nature cannot be changed. There are good people and bad people. Sure, with laws you can deter some people of bad behavior, but truly bad people do not care about laws.
