62. 120,000 a year from accidents is not a disease.

Amusing sort of disconnect also:

1,600 a year killed by knives......blamed on the person/perpetrator
500 a year by bats and clubs.....blamed on the person/perp
900 a year by hands and feet...blamed on the person/perp

6,000 a year by hand guns..........blamed on the gun (where'd the perp go?!)
300 a year by rifles...................again, the guns fault

I also don't get this:
34,000 a year die in auto accidents and the inevitable response will be "But guns are made to kill!"
How is that better? Something NOT designed to kill kills over 3 times what the tool designed for the job does and that's somehow a improvement or a good thing?

And I guarantee you if you got rid of every firearm in the US the murder rate would be close to the same or even HIGHER as criminals realized brawn and a club will win over every woman or older person and most men too.
