When you think of leading cause of death per state you may think heart disease or cancer, but a newly released report by the CDC shows the most distinctive cause of death here in Alabama and Tennessee is accidental gun discharge.

We love our Second Amendment rights here in Alabama. According to The Crime Prevention Research Center, Alabama leads the nation in concealed carry permits. Unfortunately, guns also have consequences that can sometimes be fatal.

I don't know what this guy is smoking, but he is incorrect. And in the article he references most "distinctive" cause of death, whatever that is.

There is no way that accidental shootings are a leading cause of death in Alabama or anywhere else. This article is complete baloney.

Hatchet job by someone at the CDC. They've created this term "distinctive deaths" hoping folks will read it and think leading cause when from the looks of it a more appropriate label would be rare and unusual causes.
If there were a grain of truth in this it would be ample reason to demand age appropriate gun safety and handling instruction at every level of the public school system.

Poppycock.

This "local expert" is just trying to drum up business.

Hmmmm....no 'documentation' of the contention other than a vague reference to the CDC.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
There is no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. — Ayn Rand in her must-read novel, Atlas Shrugged
