I'm relieved that they didn't feel the need to add a "disclaimer" about the Evil guns just being sneaky and laying low for a few years.

And once they're registered it should be public information, so newspapers can publish lists of which person has which medication. The public has a right to know!

Not accidental deaths

The deaths listed for guns are according to the CDC

" Injuries are from all manners, including unintentional, suicide, homicide, undetermined intent, legal intervention, and operations of war"

i do not have the accidental death rate handy but it is much lower.

EDIT to add: The accidental death rate by firearm for 2006 was 0.21 per 100,000 versus the 10.2/100,000 shown above. Homicides by firearm is 4.26/100,000

see for death stats http://webapp.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_sy.html

Ah, thanks Wally for correcting me!

Well, more correcting Consumer Reports for a very misleading headline on their article. It was yesterday when I looked at the CDC page so the memory is a little vague but I do not think it listed anything as accidents but just deaths from injuries.
