And how many vehicle deaths did we have last year? 42,000 +


Wrong as usual, Gummer -- the actual figure is slightly less than 36,000.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=motor+vehicle+deaths+us+2012

"Overall, there were an estimated 247,421,120 registered passenger
vehicles in the United States according to a 2005 DOT study. "

"There is an estimated 325,000,000 firearms privately owned in the
US...yet in the U.S. for 2010, there were 31,513 deaths from
firearms, distributed as follows by mode of death: Suicide 19,308;
Homicide 11,015; Accident 600.

Yet Eddy....there were far less deaths because of guns than vehicles
and it includes Suicide!


Twelve percent fewer is hardly "far less".
