I don't know what this guy is smoking, but he is incorrect. And in the article he references most "distinctive" cause of death, whatever that is.
There is no way that accidental shootings are a leading cause of death in Alabama or anywhere else. This article is complete baloney. |

Hatchet job by someone at the CDC. They've created this term "distinctive deaths" hoping folks will read it and think leading cause when from the looks of it a more appropriate label would be rare and unusual causes.
If there were a grain of truth in this it would be ample reason to demand age appropriate gun safety and handling instruction at every level of the public school system. |

Poppycock.
This "local expert" is just trying to drum up business. |

| Hmmmm....no 'documentation' of the contention other than a vague reference to the CDC. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
