Interesting! I put this in the category of 'suspicions confirmed'. If people were truly concerned about needless deaths then the automobile would be the prime culprit superceded only by the 100,000+ annual deaths attributed to "medical mistakes"!!

Good examples.
It is about people control not gun control.
If people would only realise that.

Right on target(pun intended). Truly amazing is people's in-ability to relate causes of needless death as described above. I suppose the fact that death by gun violence is more direct and media hyped. I seriously doubt majority of "gun bashers" even think about other causes of "needless death".
