septicemia is the #10 cause of death in this country-1% of deaths per year is the breakdown...half of deaths in this country are from heart disease and cancers.
guns weren't on the list-altho accidents/unintended injuries was on the list...
my son did a paper the other day on legalizing marijuana. one stat he found was that 15% of deaths in the u.s. per year are alcohol related-between cirrhosis and dui-vehicle accidents....
at any rate, guns causing death wasn't even on the screen...also saw that over half of gun deaths per year were suicides. but our suicide rate is on par with other countries...
