Interesting read if you can get an anti to actually read it.

Love that "accidents from firearms" barely registers on the graph. I'd like to see it broken down into regions, because New England seems to really be struggling with this issue.

We need common sense drug laws.

Yea. Good luck with that!! Facts are stubborn things and antis love to ignore them.

Yes but those numbers are classified for your own protection!

The data proves what we all know, which is that the anti-gun hysteria is based on feelings, emotions, and control.

Ban gravity. Falls are 3 times the number of homicides with a firearm.

Or at least make everyone wear a helmet 24/7. If it saves just 1 life, it will be worth it.

They couldn't have sorted those bar charts by decreasing size? Come on, Mises Institute, you're better than that.

Wow, a LOT of people drink themselves to death in one way or another.

Some liberal moonbat will probably try to do that.

They are pretty dumb, and extremely naive.

I'd bet that a significant percentage of homicides are fueled by alcohol as well. It's a hell of a drug.

Opiates are huge here meth is big every where else. That's why you hear about ods here more. I'm assuming it's harder to od on meth. Never tried tho.

YES, and I'll take a T shirt with that

also what percentage of homicide by fire arm is bad guy on bad guy and I'm sure it includes all firearms deaths

Might as well ban living, it only leads to death.
