Response to gun control letter 2

Tracy —  

To the editor:
“Guns are a health hazard.” So are knives, scissors, knitting needles, glass bottles, and the most dangerous objects to your health are automobiles.  
“Gunshot health risks are 100% preventable.” Come on Ms. Loehrlein, what planet are you from?  According to the CDC, 39 percent of accidental deaths in this country  are from car accidents, .06 percent are from gunshots.  So for your health, I hope you take up walking everywhere, but be careful, the CDC also says that in 2009 2.2 million adults were sent to the emergency room for injuries related to falls.
