[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] No. I refuse to give my kids more reason to be fearful. We are just not going to live like that. [/quote] Good for you. And, unlike the people who buy these, you probably understand math (specifically, statistics), too.[/quote] Actually, for the first time in more than 60 years, firearms and automobiles are killing Americans at an identical rate, according to the most mortality data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Few people would term the possibility of getting killed in a car accident as rare, in the way that getting killed by being hit by lightning is truly rare. Since you have such a profound understanding of statistics, you know that the US is an outlier among developed countries in its level of gun violence. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/17/guns-are-now-killing-as-many-people-as-cars-in-the-u-s/?utm_term=.302722f396ad[/quote]
