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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
