How do I know that gunshot wounds kill people??? Because if you look at a medical examiners report after a fatal gun shooting, the CAUSE of death is always "a gunshot wound to the ( fill in body part here)." Gunshot wounds kill people, period. Even the bullet is never the cause of death, it's always the wound. The wound is always the CAUSE of death in a shooting fatality. Conventional right wing wisdom ( stupidity ) says "People kill People" but it's never been substantiated by any medical examiners report I've ever seen. I've never heard of a medical examiners report that said "a person was the cause of death". Never. Just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that people don't kill people, wounds from gunshots do. Which means that if you lower the amount of wounds inflicted on the US population, less people will die . Since the wound is caused by the bullet, if we lower the amount of bullets fired, less wounds will occur. Lowering the amount of guns may, or may not, lower the amount of bullets fired considering some guns can fire ALOT more bullets than others. So one aspect of a comprehensive solution to the problem we face today is to limit the amount of bullets any one gun can fire at a time. Simple, really.
