as motor vehicle crashes (33,000)..." That's interesting.

To read pro-gun threads on DU, you would think that is not the case. I don't know how many times the charge is made that we have far more car fatalities than ones from guns, followed by "so why don't we ban cars?"

It's no wonder the public has been misled into believing NRA propaganda. It's stories like this one that show how insidious that group and its supporters are.

Nice to see them start to get exposed for the hideous people they are...
