For the first time in more than 60 years, firearms and automobiles are killing Americans at an identical rate, according to new mortality data released this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2014, the age-adjusted death rate for both firearms (including homicides, suicides and accidental deaths) and motor vehicle events (car crashes, collisions between cars and pedestrians, etc) stood at 10.3 deaths per 100,000 people.

The convergence of the trend lines above is driven primarily by a sharp drop in the rate of motor vehicle fatalities since 1950. In the late 1960s, for instance, there were well over 25 motor vehicle deaths for every 100,000 people in the United States. Since then, that rate has fallen by more than half.

Over the same period, gun deaths rose, but by a considerably smaller amount. Gun homicide rates have actually fallen in recent years, but those gains have been offset by rising gun suicide rates. Today, suicides account for roughly two out of every three gun deaths.

There goes the classica argument "but cars kill more guns than people do" - right out of the window..
I wonder what theyll come up with next
 
Who is dying by the gun?

;)

What part of the population because we all know that lying by omission, is well, lying.

A statistic, by itself, means nothing. You must ask critical questions, the first of which are how many suicides do we subtract from the two groups. Then we move to how many of each group are drug (-activity) related. Then we look to which groups of people might be inflating the numbers of both groups. And finally, I would examine, in which locals do gun deaths outnumber automobile deaths.
 
Don't avoid the real serious question, "Who is shooting who?"

White cops executing innocent black 'utes?'

White vigilantes?

The KKK?

Yup, and when you subtract out the votes of those pesky Negroes, Hispanics and single women, Romney actually WON the presidency back in 2012!

WHY IS HE NOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AJ?
 
Dear Disney Theme Parks,

I have a rather large assemblage of ceramic knives. You might consider that that and the Jihaddist who recently engaged in a campus stabbing spree.

The statistic really is meaningless. The murder rate in the US is 4.6 per 100,000 population. This number includes justifiable homicide but does NOT include suicide. If you are not black that number drops to 2.2 per 100,000.

As far as suicides go, who cares? Those people are pretty intent on doing themselves in, how they choose to go about it is immaterial.

And yet, you're more likely to be killed by hands or feet than you are by one of those big scary "assault weapons".

What can we do about those terrifying hands and feet, people?

Won't someone please think about the children?!?!?


Even with all the drool-worthy anti gun rhetoric being ramped up for Hillary, violent crime is... STILL on the decline. More guns, but less crime. Please tell us why?
