A new study is out saying traffic accidents kill a lot more New Yorkers than guns do:
“… According to a study by the Drum Major Institute for Public Policy, and Transportation Alternatives, more people in New York City have died in traffic accidents than by gun violence in the past 10 years. The report names speeding as the number one contributing factor for deadly crashes …”
Not surprising. The question that needs to be asked then is:
“… This prompts the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association to ask: why does Bloomberg spend so much time and so much of his own money harassing firearms dealers and lobbying to restrict the Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers and all Americans? Why has he tirelessly promoted the junk science of microstamping in Albany? Why hasn’t he formed Mayors for Traffic Safety? When will solid public policy initiatives take precedence over his obsession with guns?”
