Huh? Everytime I go to Oregon Live, I see stories about car violence or knife violence. Nowhere near as much gun violence.

Firearms ownership has absolutely nothing to do with mental health. If that is the method of choice, then that's what what they will chose! Or by Cop, jumping off high places, pills, or whatever manor of choice. Also a failed attempt doesn't mean that they won't make another attempt in a different manor, or success in the same way. When they find a way of treating mental illness instead of banning the use of a tool that they accomplished it with, then I believe they will be on the path of a cure.
I had one of those!Funny, my 70 Challenger R/T 440 is FAR more dangerous then a gun, yet in all the years since it was built and the 45000 miles I have put on it, It has yet to kill! Strange ain't it, one of those " Killer Muscle Cars" from the 60's and 70's that were supposed to be death traps and it has yet to kill any thing other then bugs!

It has a lot to do with mental illness. fifty percent are mentally ill and the other fifty is a mix of hatred, and enimes of U.S. Yet, we honest ciltizens are the only ones to suffer, with constant attempts at taking away our guns. Yet, Criminals are never called into the authroriltus to give up their guns. I wonder why??? Oh I know why, because their CRIMINALS! Only lawabiding people will put up with this crap. That's why the fed and local governments are trying to hurt honest citizens that have guns.Firearms ownership has absolutely nothing to do with mental health.

and how many negligent medical deaths were there during that timeframe?
That's because you don't let me drive it! Darn selfish of you too!Funny, my 70 Challenger R/T 440 is FAR more dangerous then a gun, yet in all the years since it was built and the 45000 miles I have put on it, It has yet to kill!

Something's wrong with your math … Ooh I see it now. You tried to figure the annual rate using 'Nearly' 2300, but the 2300 was over a fourteen year period so lets see here 2300 divided by 14 equals 164.2857142857143 ….. lets just call it 165 then divide that by 4,000,000 equals .00004125 or as a percentage .004125% as a annualized percentage, 'Nearly'.So 4 million+ population as of 2014....2300 "gun violence deaths"
Thats less than a quarter percent....
>>>The majority of those deaths were by suicide
it's something we need to get our hands around and figure out in trying to prevent suicide
dont forget the chevy volt and the toyota prius. i swear the majority of the cars being fixed at my works body shop are those twoThere are way more guns than cars in Oregon yet cars cause way more deaths. Yet I still see cars with all of those evil features, soup can mufflers, factory rated 700hp, race track ready Lambo's, Ferrari's, Corvettes, Mustangs, etc. So why again are guns evil?
Gun owners are specially treated. You over look such things as bomber, motor vehicles, chemicals that are toxic. None are treated in the same weight, and they it's more politically correct to attack guns and gun owners. We are the only country in the world that has a Constitution with a second amendment that shall not be infringed. It is constantly attacked by those who want to see us controlled. It isn't going to happen! A lot of similarities with these people who go off center. Mostly over looked, or ignored. Even some that suffer from mental issues or PTSD, that never become a threat. It don't buy the gun did it!It has a lot to do with mental health. Everytime a nut case shoots and kills people, the g
