@aplusk 1. Okay, let’s. 10 people a DAY die in the US in a pool. 75% of them are children. We could eliminate ALMOST ALL pools. Very rich criminals may still get their hands on a indoor, inground, illegal pool. But at a lower rate Han illegal guns.
@aplusk 2. You are also mixing stats. Your stat also includes suicides and shootings in places like Chicago. Why is it that no one seems to really care about the dead in Chicago? Is it that it shows that gun bans don’t work? And those who are suicidal will find a way.
@aplusk 2. Suicide was the 2nd leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 10 - 34, and the 4th leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 35 -54.There were more than twice as many suicides (44,965) in the United States as there were homicides (19,362)
@aplusk 4. Overdose deaths from opioids, including prescription opioids and heroin, have increased by more than five times since 1999. Overdoses involving opioids killed more than 42,000 people in 2016 alone.
@aplusk 5. We keep hearing about school shootings when the truth is a kid is safer in school today than in 1990. Unless MS13 is around. They kill 4x’s as many people than mass ‘shooters’ and yet, google MS 13. You will mainly find stories that are anti trump. BTW: MS13 guns r illegal.
@aplusk One last question.Can you cite the source of your stats on the Iraq war?According to the IBC from 2010-2017 the death count is over 160,000. Perhaps you are referring to US soldiers? But I cannot seem to find that number easily. The press really stopped tracking it around 2008.
