Poisons in the home cause more death and injury to friends and faimly than intruders also. 87 people per day in the U.S. die from unintentional poisoning. Unintentional gun deaths average 2 per day.
Unintentional poisoning deaths increased 160% in the last decade.
Poisoning ranks #2 as the cause of unintentional death, beat out only by motor vehicles.
Drug overdose death rates have more than tripled since 1990.

This gun crap is all about politics and fear, and nothing to do with reality.
