I guess another problematic type of incident is a drive by shooting. If someone dies is it the gun or vehicle? Fun with statistics!

Funny, I've ridden it twice and I'm still not dead. Starting from Wisconsin, no less, AND on a Hardly Ableson. I've thus far failed at being an organ donor. Perhaps I should turn in my donor card.

No matter how hard they try, the cell phone addled, makeup applying, finger food eating, gnat's attention span cagers keep missing me after all these years and miles of seat time.

I'm very poor at complying with the wishes of the statists. I have failed society.

Thanks for that...... I’ve never seen that map

Congratulations on still being around.

From the CDC website: “There were an estimated 722,000 HAIs in U.S acute care hospitals in 2011. About 75,000 hospital patients with HAIs died during their hospitalizations. More than half of all HAIs occurred outside of the intensive care unit.” HAI’s are hospital acquired infections.

Which saves more lives? Washing hands or ......

And is there a study on how many times a gun accident was preceded by the words, “Hold mah beer!”

BTW, the Dragon is way overrated. Those who wish to satiate their need for adrenaline and please the statists should try Iron Mountain Road.

I agree with your thoughts. It is clear it is not about safety or saving lives it is about taking rights and confiscating guns.
