*Clutches Pearls*

Meanwhile 2000 people per year die in automotive accidents in Canada and 88,000 die from cancer.

It's not about making people's lives better, it's about irrational fear and making themselves the main character and being the "hero" because they don't have the skillset to cure cancer.

Causes of deaths in canada:

1 cancer ~80,000

2 heart disease ~60,000

3 malpractice and medical mistakes ~28,000

4 dementia ~27,500

5 waiting for healthcare ~23,700

6 accidents ~23,400

7 stroke ~13,800

8 Lower Respiratory diseases ~13,000

9 Influenza & pneumonia ~7500

10 diabetes ~7000

Firearm deaths not counting suicide ~250-290 annually. Of these deaths only about 22-26 were legally owned firearms. ( Annual averages, rcmp data doesn't differentiate between murder and self defense. )

That makes doctors and the decaying health system responsible for 86,000% more deaths than a legally owned firearm. Just saying.
