Safer Cars May Make Guns The Leading Cause Of Death Among Americans Under 25 In 2015

This is an interesting observation no matter how one interprets the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Thanks largely to evolving safety regulations and stronger state laws with regard to drunk driving, seatbelt use and graduated licensing of young drivers, traffic fatalities are at an all time low. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 32,719 people died in traffic crashes in 2013, the most current statistics available, which represents a 24 percent drop in highway deaths since 2004. That number is expected to continue its steady decline as high-tech accident avoidance systems become widespread and, eventually, autonomous driving cars begin populating the nation’s highways.

My (possibly incorrect) understanding is that texting while driving is now the leading cause of deaths among Americans 16 to 25.

NRA is the most powerful lobby group out there. No President dares to piss them off.

Yes and the Crazed/Conservative NRA demands a recount as facts are only suggestive to them....

Interesting. With younger people not driving as much as previous generations... You have to wonder if this is a little misleading.

Apparently they're being shot as much as usual, then. Yay?
