Food for thought….on deaths

AR-15’s are used to kill around 225 people a year over the last several years. 2.8 or so a month. Outrage ensues.

Let’s try some other causes

Let’s take a look at ways in which more Americans die every year other than by AR-15s used in mass shootings:

Twenty-eight people are killed every year by lightning.

Roughly 2,167 Americans die annually from constipation.

On average, 951 people are killed by their lawnmowers while another 4,193 are killed by farm tractors and other agricultural equipment.


Murderous toasters kill 45 people per year.

Eleven teenagers die every day while texting and driving.

An estimated 40 people die every year while skateboarding.

Roughly 10,206 are accidentally strangled to death while they sleep, and for those who survive the night, another 10,386 will die every year falling out of bed.

As per the FBI, rifles of every variation — including but not limited to the scary AR-15 — killed 215 Americans in 2019. But another 1,533 were killed by knives, and 651 people were beaten to death by hands, fists, feet, etc.

In 2015, 5,051 people choked to death while eating.

Americans average 62 deaths per year by bees, wasps, and hornets.

Re die falling out of bed...

My brother is 75, broke his tibia 10 years ago and affected his balance. Last month his leg gave out getting out of bed and did major damage to his other leg.

When I read your post I thought How does someone die getting out of bed . Then the light came on...
