I seriously didn’t recognize the abbreviation. Wondering how Office of Management and Budget figured into this.

You guys have it all wrong. What we need is CALENDAR REFORM to eliminate falls.

People get excited about guns because they make loud noises.

Other forms of death are the silent killers. Bathtubs are silent but deadly.

You should have to pass a background check to own Joe Biden, then.

But isn’t it the COVID that is causing the falls?


Nope, you’ve got that almost backwards.
If someone falls off a ten story building and on his way down looks into a window and sees someone who has the virus, the faller’s death is listed as “COVID related”

The remedy for human-caused gravity is higher taxes and more restrictions on personal freedom.

I’m a senior who is in pretty good shape and who has had four hellacious falls in the past two years. The latest being last Wednesday. Got really banged up. Knocked myself out once. Afraid of Covid? Pffft. Falling down? Terrified.

This is so wrong. NOBODY dies from a fall. Its the landing that gets you.

It would be interesting to see the demographics on the people who die as the result of a fall. I would venture to guess that it’s heavily weighted toward senior citizens. As a senior, I am aware that my balance and coordination are not what they used to be, therefore, I am extremely careful when on stairs, either up or down (cueing J. Biden here).

The third leading cause of preventable death (est up to 250K per annum) in the US is medical errors...

Does this mean you’re at much greater risk seeing a doctor than going to the rifle range?

You’re 5 times more likely to be killed by (someone’s) fists and feet than with an AR15...But of course it’s about people control, not about the guns...
