Facts is facts...
I'm really sick of the anti-gun rants.
Look, here are the facts... 11,500 people are killed each year by firearms in the USA. That sounds like a big number but when you realize that the population of the USA is over 350,000,000 that number becomes a very small percentage.
By comparison alcohol kills a lot more. There are over 75,000 people killed by alcohol every year and that is only factoring in the diseases caused by alcohol consumption, the people who die due to alcohol poisoning and those killed from drunk drivers. Not even taking into consideration the deaths caused by people shooting, stabbing or beating someone to death while drunk.
Therefore, ALCOHOL is far more dangerous than firearms.
In fact, the next time you gasp in shock that someone has died from a gunshot, realize that six more people have died from a bottle.
Perspective. Get some.
