Perspective
As the push to ban "assault weapons", high capacity clips, etc. continues, I wanted to try and put things in perspective for myself. While every life is precious, this shows how small a number deaths by gun are - in relation to tobacco and even alcohol. Chart shows mortality numbers by select means.
Full disclaimer - these numbers were taken from various sources and were as recent as i could pull using limited time (they were the best numbers I could get). I did not reference them either. Don't hold the numbers as gospel. Again, just meant for perspective...
