NRA claims more die by accident from 'medical misadventures' than firearms
Our ruling So, is the NRA right to state that, nationwide, people are four times more likely to die from medical misadventures than firearm accidents and that figure drops to six times more likely for Florida?
And bicycles are more dangereous than either. Yet we let little kids ride them on public roads, with no supervision, licensing or training requirements or insurance.
All of us "lefties" are not anti-gun but we advocate for responsible and safe gun ownership.
I own several including shotguns, semi-auto handguns and an AK-47 and I believe that everyone should be required to demonstrate a level of familiarity, if not proficiency, with firearms before they can purchase or own one. Familiarity can be demonstrated by presenting a military ID card, law enforcement credentials, etc. or taking a certified gun safety course.
Gun ownership and gun safety go hand-in-hand and I don't want any idiot who doesn't know one end of a firearm from the other, handling one, let alone owning one.
