Gun Deaths Outpace Motor Vehicle Deaths in 10 States

8. none of their recomendations address the issue

since most of them are suicides and not accidents. They are comparing apples carrots.

Comprehensive regulation of the firearms industry and its products could include:
minimum safety standards (i.e., specific design standards and the requirement of safety devices); bans on certain types of firearms such as “junk guns” and military-style assault weapons; limits on firepower; restrictions on gun possession by those convicted of a violent misdemeanor; heightened restrictions on the carrying of loaded guns in public; improved enforcement of current laws restricting gun possession by persons with histories of domestic violence; more detailed and
timely data collection on gun production, sales, use in crime, involvement in injury and death; and, public education about the extreme risks associated with exposure to firearms.

minimum safety standards (i.e., specific design standards and the requirement of safety devices);

all modern firearms have them without said requirements. In that way, the firearms industry in the US and Europe have been far more responsible than the auto industry.

“junk guns” and military-style assault weapons;

deaths from these guns are rare enough to be irrelevant.

restrictions on gun possession by those convicted of a violent misdemeanor;

already federal law.

more detailed and timely data collection on gun production, sales, use in crime, involvement in injury and death;

has been done since the 1930s.

and, public education about the extreme risks associated with exposure to firearms.

which is what this bullshit is about. In other words, they do nothing.
