Just a reminder - Guns kill 31,000 Americans each year

14. I was giving context.

Drunk driving is a major safety hazard, and takes a huge death toll. Everyone knows this. Many people know somebody personally affected by a drunk driving accident. I do. So it's useful to point out that guns kill three times as many.

It's really kind of grotesque to watch you try and downplay 30,000 annual deaths. That's a huge number. Of course, guns aren't the only way people die, and most people don't die from guns. No kidding.

The point you seem to be missing is that we can both fight disease and gun violence. If there were a pro-Parkinson's disease lobby that used congressional influence to stop funding for research into Parkinson's disease, and insisted that Parkinson's disease was part of the "price we pay for freedom", I'd say they were nuts.
