It simply shows vehicle fatalities declining fairly dramatically, no increase in gun deaths.

Did you bother to look at the graphic? pipoman Jul 2014 #16

Did you? It actually shows roughly a 10% increase in gun deaths. ieoeja Jul 2014 #42

Did you notice when the small increase started? IronGate Jul 2014 #45

2004? You know, it's not like people reading this are fucking blind. n/t ieoeja Jul 2014 #49

It was in the middle of 2008 that it started to raise somewhat noticably, IronGate Jul 2014 #50

The bigger jump was in 2004. But since you must have your reality, I will pretend otherwise. ieoeja Jul 2014 #51

Correction: Gun deaths Are going down. nt Eleanors38 Jul 2014 #43

That's not what the graphic says, so a correction requires a link to back it up, doncha think? Gormy Cuss Jul 2014 #55

Probable slight uptick in suicides, so I stand corrected. Eleanors38 Jul 2014 #56

Thanks for clarifying. n/t Gormy Cuss Jul 2014 #59

Paranoid? IronGate Jul 2014 #21

I'm not saying you are paranoid BainsBane Jul 2014 #23

I can agree with that, IronGate Jul 2014 #25

How so? BainsBane Jul 2014 #29

Those deaths are tragic, but, while not discounting these deaths, 2/3 are suicides, IronGate Jul 2014 #31
