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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
