heaven forbid they take away your guns! Whats next? Meteorites? They have been known to kill cows and dogs! Over 30k people in the good ol USA were killed by infections like antibiotic resistant staff last year.and hiv aids is the leading cause of death for people under 40years. The CDC groups all accidents together to make hiv #2 . Death by being shot is like way under the top 10. Mor like no 30 yet the press keeps harping on gun deaths.the truth is hiv autos and suicide are the three major causes of death. And probably 20 per cent of the auto deaths are suicides. Like woman drives into lake and takes her kids with her. So sad! Steve
