Gun Deaths in US Projected to Top Auto Deaths
Posted: Dec 24, 2012
Guns and cars have long been among the leading causes of non-medical deaths in the U.S. By 2015, firearm fatalities will probably exceed traffic fatalities for the first time, based on data compiled by Bloomberg.
While motor-vehicle deaths dropped 22 percent from 2005 to 2010, gun fatalities are rising again after a low point in 2000, according to the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Shooting deaths in 2015 will probably rise to almost 33,000, and those related to autos will decline to about 32,000, based on the 10-year average trend.

Yeah, I'm kind of a sucker for puns - grits
[ In Reply To ..]and plays on words. YMMV, as always
I checked the CDC claim and this seems to be true. - Amazing. I also looked up
[ In Reply To ..]Garen Windekut from the article. He's an ER doctor and the link below is to an interview on PBC about the gun industry and how this all happened. The insights available there alone I'm sure would top 20 years of what one might pick up on the evening news in those shallow, inoffensive little offerings between the commercials.
Yep, and yet the states with the strictest - gun laws have highest shooting deaths! nm

No, they don't. To the contrary. - Where'd you get that? nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
You are wrong!!!! Chicago/IL is one example... - VERY strict laws with many DEAD children!!!! nm

that's a city - not a trend (!) - oh dear me

IL is the state ! Hello?? Chicago crime ruins - the state...out of control !! nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
hello yourself - sm...
[ In Reply To ..]The statement in question pertained to STATES with the strictest gun laws. Chicago is one of our larger urban centers. To extrapolate that gun crime in Chicago is somehow representative of gun crime in the state of Illinois AT LARGE is completely irrelevant. Take a deep breath and think about it.
"To the contrary"? Incorrect. Gun laws have done - nothing the curb gun deaths.. fact! nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
umm...we don't have those facts - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Oddly, the CDC has been enjoined by congress not to release these facts. If you think you have facts, what you have is data. And data are highly reflective of the way in which they are collected. Careful now. Don't go off half-cocked.

If you are squeamish, please do NOT open the link. It's shows violent deaths. It's so sad what is happening in other countries when you're not the "proper" religion. Why is this not important to the rest of the world or even the U.N.? Obama mentioned Yemen but never Nigerian atrocities. I can only guess why. I also read the comments and that, too, is scary.

Watching The "debating" Here And Reading The Newspaper Stories On Gun Deaths, Etc.Jan 21, 2013
Those in the country that are for gun control seem to lump all gun deaths into the final total. I just read today where the editor of the paper pointed out that there are 30,000 gun deaths a year...but (s)he doesn't break it down to non-criminal or criminal. Most of those deaths were caused by drug deals gone bad, drug deals, gang turf wars, etc. All people are thinking about are the 1% not caused by criminal actions, but the recent tragedy in CT has zeroed in on lumping LEGAL g ...
