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 |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
