*sigh* DBO and Merritt(less) Clifton in the same spot. You know the ignorance is going to be through the roof.
There have been 29 deaths by dogs this year.
Guns?
Every year in the U.S., an average of more than 100,000 people are shot, according to The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence.
Every day in the U.S., an average of 289 people are shot. Eighty-six of them die: 30 are murdered, 53 kill themselves, two die accidentally, and one is shot in a police intervention, the Brady Campaign reports.
Between 2000 and 2010, a total of 335,609 people died from guns — more than the population of St. Louis, Mo. (318,069), Pittsburgh (307,484), Cincinnati, Ohio (296,223), Newark, N.J. (277,540), and Orlando, Fla. (243,195) (sources: CDF, U.S. Census; CDC)
One person is killed by a firearm every 17 minutes, 87 people are killed during an average day, and 609 are killed every week. (source: CDC)
They site specifically ACCIDENTAL shootings on their little poster there. According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence TWO PEOPLE A DAY DIE ACCIDENTALLY of gunshots on average. That’s in the neighborhood of SEVEN HUNDRED A YEAR.
Where did you people learn math?
