...and cars/trucks. Since people get charged with assault with a deadly weapon for purposfully plowing into a crowd, they qualify.
So you too have now been reduced to flogging the absurd "cars kill people too" trope?! :facepalm:
Do people die directly as a result of a car or light truck. Yes or no
Do people use cars or light trucks as deadly weapons? Yes or no
Accidentally or on purpose, do autos or light trucks kill @ 2.5 times as many humans in the US as firearms? Yes or no?
Obviously the answer is yes; yes you have lowered yourself to trotting out the beyond-ludicrous cars-equal-guns equivalency. That smacks of desperation.
It's pointing out that interest balancing has occured and it allows 50K fatalities a year. Not even concerned enough to mandate breathalyzer interlocks to all but eliminate alcohol-related DUIs. :dunno:
