Corrected 2015 stats: 32,514 gun deaths & 35,514 crash deaths; Can we do something about this?

Safety Advocacy, , , ,

Earlier today, I posted that there were 12,942 gun-related deaths in 2015 in the U.S. Someone brought another website to my attention, and I am posting the figure indicated there: 32,514 gun deaths.

Whatever the exact, accurate estimated amount, both these deaths and the 35,214 reported crash deaths in 2015 deserve our attention and unified action to work to reduce preventable violent deaths.

So why does the drafted Democratic Platform Draft Dem. Platform: “Ensure Health & Safety…Gun Violence Prevention” But NOT Vehicle Violence?

Let’s end preventable violent deaths! Appoint a Traffic Safety Ombudsman to help us do that!
