1,467 died from hanging or strangulation (252 on purpose, 1215 were accidental)
1,453 died in auto accidents (same age group, Table 6)
32,710 total deaths (all causes) in 2016, same age group.
1.4% of all child related deaths are a result of firearms. Our 2nd amendment is worth that much. I know that will spin the heads off of the anti-gun crowd... but try living under Tyranny without the ability to resist before going rabid. Planet earth is NOT utopia. We negotiate everything in balance. There is a raw cost associated with FREEDOM.

Why is it binary? Is there no form of gun control that will not infringe upon your right to own a gun(s)?
