On page 25 one can read:
“Gun Violence Prevention
With 33,000 Americans dying every year, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence. While gun ownership is part of the fabric of many communities, too many families in America have suffered from gun violence. We can respect the rights of responsible gun owners while keeping our communities safe.
We will expand background checks and close dangerous loopholes in our current laws, hold irresponsible dealers and manufacturers accountable, keep weapons of war—such as assault weapons—off our streets, and ensure guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists, domestic abusers, other violent criminals, and those with severe mental health issues.”
Hmnn…. Both are important.
But NHTSA has recorded a 9.3 % increase in [crash] fatalities in early 2015 to a level of nearly 35,000 Americans dying every year now.
In addition, every day nearly twice as many Americans suffer serious injuries such as brain and spinal cord paralysis due to vehicle violence than to gun violence. See

So why are Democrats so silent on ending vehicle violence?
Campaign finance money?
Automotive (Dems & Reps): $15 million See https://www.opensecrets.org/
Gun Control (Dems): $1.7 million in 2015 See https://www.opensecrets.org/
So what are Americans who are concerned with ending vehicle violence to do this election year?

So why am I not surprised? This has got to change!
See my previous post on President Obama’s apparent perspective on vehicle violence: Obama (6/1/16): “We used to have really bad auto fatality rates. . .” And we don’t NOW?!
