Almost another "Fun With Headlines" post but not quite:
Study: Guns Pass Car Crashes as Leader of Potential Years of Life Lost Due to Trauma
I will shamelessly speculate here. The drop in car deaths is due to more people working from home or dropping out of the work force, and the increase in gun deaths is because of skyrocketing crime rates and lax enforcement and prosecution by leftie mayors and DAs.
I expect the Dems will be taking credit for the former, citing higher gas taxes as the reason for fewer people actually being out on the road in the first place, and using their perceived success as a model, will be plumping for a $.50/round tax on ammo and a gun owners license, renewable annually, to cut down on the number of thugs getting plugged by their victims and rivals.
Meantime the Alabama house has passed a constitutional carry bill, and bids to become #22 to do this.

Not to mention the lockdowns, mandates and financial consequences of covid Mania have increased suicide rates...which they include in their stats.
Suicide is not a violence issue, it's a mental health issue and lumping suicides together with homicide is disingenuous at best. I think it's flat out dishonest because the people who conduct these "studies" are highly educated people who should understand the concept of "false equivalence".
