Ah, but see, the point you are making to counter my point actually mirrors it, and that point is that what is being presented as statistics is being heavily manipulated.
Let’s look at this from a different angle, your right to bear arms comes at a price. I do not need to manipulate data to prove that. Accidental gun deaths do happen.
Should we therefore heavily regulate guns?
But wait, it’s your 2A right to bear arms, or more to the point, your God given natural right to defend yourself.
But talking is a 1A right, yes? Oh I know, you say, it’s not the same.....
But more important, should we give, allow, or desire government micromanaging of our lives?
You have a 1:62 chance of being in a car accident this year. If you are, then you have a 1/7000th of 1% chance of dying by cell phone distraction, roughly 8 people per average state per year.
Is that enough for it to be OK for the government to regulate your life?
All I want is the right to beat the living crap out of someone who causes me or mine harm in an accident because they can't put their phone down.
