Conclusion: Accidental deaths by gun occur less than any other recorded cause of accidental death except poisoning by gas and vapor
Question: So why do we not hear people calling for heavier restrictions on cars, tall buildings, poisonous substances, water, fire and things that can accidentally result in strangulation?

QUOTES TO REMEMBER

Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775.
