So doing some rough math, it looks like on average 35,000 people die in car wrecks every year vs an average of 10 in mass shootings. So to completely eliminate mass shootings would save the same number of lives as reducing .029% of traffic deaths. Which sounds more cost effective and practical? Heck, putting up a few traffic lights and a couple guard rails would save more lives than putting up checks tops and metal detectors in every public venue. |
LOL. I love a good, ridiculous false dilemma.
