Now think about this:
Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. Is 80,000,000.
(Yes, that's 80 million..)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is

Well...flooding the market with availability of guns has worked pretty well taming the wild west...instead of "taxpayer funded universal healthcare" maybe the answer is to increase the schools and funding to flood the market with doctors...but then...what would that do to the death rate? Ayyykkka
Interesting eh? Did you know that health care is the 3rd leading cause of death in US? Or that the US has the 2nd worst newborn death rate in the modern world?
Pretty pathetic.
