29,569 people in the US were killed in 2004 by firearms (Including Suicides). Which boils down to about 81 people per day. Don't hear much about those folks all over the TV for weeks on end.
Very interesting. Same thing with car accidents. Tens of thousands die every year but people go bananas when 100 people die in the only commercial plane crash of the year. It's amusing; people who are obese, smoke like chimneys and never wear a seatbelt but they're not gettin' on no airplane, that ain't safe. :rolleyes:
