I bet you can guess what is causing them to drop since peaking in the 60's and 70s.


I'm going to guess some kind of government regulation (Seat belts?)

Yikes. Talk about a backfire. It's like every point he thinks he is making against gun regulations, ends up being a point for them.

Regulations and safety features, both things the NRA belligerently and dishonestly blocks.

Ceeboo, I think you would have to include disco injuries for your question to be valid.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

No, Pal. I've heard that the rate of orthopedic surgeries AND the rate of unwanted pregnancies has dropped dramatically since disco fever abated.

That's my anecdotal evidence, but I can also point to study after study that shows that is phenomenally rare across the country. In fact, it's so rare that a gun owner is more likely to be killed by a gun (their own or someone else's) than to ever find themselves in an active shooter situation. You don't care of course, because you have strong feelings, and that's what counts.


And is by the way, the reason I have not carried over all these years. I have the license to try and maintain my right to do so now or in the future.

It is only of late, with the likes of France and CA and what seems an ever increasing odds that I will find myself in that situation. And these numbers/odds continue to increase at some point in the future ... I want my rights to protect myself preserved for use if/when ever called for.

You don't seem to read the post Kevin, or don't comprehend them. Sorry dude, I tried, you are back on mental ignore (i.e. not worth my time to respond to)
