I think automobiles kill more than guns. Of course, there is a human driver in the automobile (I know that is changing) but those guns, oh wait.

For 2013:

Unintentional fall deaths
Number of deaths: 30,208
Deaths per 100,000 population: 9.6

Motor vehicle traffic deaths
Number of deaths: 33,804
Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.7

Unintentional poisoning deaths
Number of deaths: 38,851
Deaths per 100,000 population: 12.3

I have no idea what the numbers for “intentional” falls or poisonings are.

While Hillary wants to ban guns, I read that Bernie wants to ban gravity to stop all fall deaths. Or at least require mandatory helmet use when not sleeping or sitting on the coach watching TV.

(Don’t anybody mention the risk of falling out of bed.)
