Worried about guns in NYC? Cars were more likely to kill you in 2024 (gothamist.com)

It’s 253 car deaths which is just a little over 203 fatal shootings.

Can one worry about both or are we picking teams?


The situation matters. Walking down the street, I don't worry about randomly getting shot or hit by a car but I'd believe that the latter is more likely. Once a gun is introduced into a specific household though, I'd imagine the equation changes.


Introducing the dodge SLAM: Now with claymores instead of the bumper! And you thought, you would never walk like you did in iraq!
