More Americans are now killed by GUNS than car crashes as shootings become country's leading cause of death by trauma for the first time
2022-02-23
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Guess we can cut the deaths in half by banning cars.
  • Surgeons at Westchester Medical Centre in New York state released research suggesting that more than 1.4million years of potential life are lost every year to gun crime

  • Car crashes were the greatest cause of death until deaths from guns skyrocketed between 2009 and 2018

  • The report, published in medical journal Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open, found gun deaths rose on average by 0.72 per cent every year

  • Conversely, road accidents fell by 0.07 per cent each year that decade

  • Suicides using guns rose from 18,735 in 2009 to 24,432 in 2018 and gun murders rose from 11,493 to 13,958

#6  I wasn't involved. Saw our friend Thursday night, then the family left in the wee hours Friday morning heading north to visit other family. Hit an ice patch, slipped, flipped, landed upside down in a wetland. Nobody got out. Eastern Kansas, an hour or so south of KC.

#2  Surgeons at Westchester Medical Centre in New York state released research suggesting that more than 1.4million years of potential life are lost every year to gun crime

Did they release the number of years of potential life lost due the hospital malfeasance?
