CDC Report: 35,369 Vehicle Accident Deaths, 505 Gun Accident Deaths
breitbart.com ^ | 5/1/2015 | AWR Hawkins

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) final report on death statistics for 2013 shows there were 35,369 deaths from motor vehicle accidents versus 505 deaths from the accidental discharge of firearms.

That is not a typo—35,369 versus 505. Americans are 70 times more likely to die in a vehicle accident than by the accidental discharge of a firearm.

Yet Michael Bloomberg, Moms Demand Action, and Everytown for Gun Safety have not uttered a peep about Ford, Dodge, or Toyota control. They are utterly consumed with a new gun control push framed around accidental firearm deaths.

Meanwhile, nannie bloomers, the momunists, and the margabby kelley-giffords travelin' puppet show reportedly responded with a resounding "Nu uh!". That's all the proof they need.

High-capacity assault cars are the real problem. No one needs that much transportation.

The ditzy liberals who cry for more gun control are usually the same ditzy liberals who support issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens.

Do you really need 4 wheels and tires? Really? If everybody would just ride their horse to work we wouldn’t have these crazy automobile issues.

Guns don’t kill people, Volkswagens kill people.

Where is the fight to remove our cars? Only cops should have cars. Unless they are white.

The founding fathers clearly didn’t envision high capacity assault vehicles.

Volkswagen was originally created for Hitler. BOOM! Case closed. QED.

IF they truly wanted gun safety, they would be demanding that NRAs Eddie Eagle be shown in every grade school and that proper handling be taught to all older students.

The real problem: brain dead liberals, not guns. Cars don't kill people, people kill people. Who is driving those cars?

how many vehicles, including ambulance were used to transport people to safety? And how many guns were used to stop and/or prevent crime?

I haven’t seen the model breakout, but I assume the kid-killing SUV’s top the list of most deadliest.

The problem with “alcohol related” is that the statistics are brutally massaged.

Had a glass of wine with dinner?
Stopped for a quick beer on the way home?
Picked up a bottle of bourbon on the way home?

All motor vehicle incidents are considered “alcohol related” in the statistics if you even have booze in the car, let alone in your system. You can be stone cold sober, but that case of beer that was in the back of the truck will be noted by the constabulary, even if you are T-boned by granny running a red light.
