Come on Couric.  You can't just blast people having guns, when far more incompetent people have their driver's license.  I don't ever hear her advocating that people should take the driver's license tests more often, when clearly driving kills more people per year.  Like mentioned above there is no group that wholly promotes safer driving.  She should be rooting for that since on average more than 3 times as many people die a day from driving related deaths than from gun-related violence.

Automobiles can be used as weapons too.

My father was in the ER some years back and this man was brought in and put in a partition beside him.  The guy was screaming and yelling about the pain he was in and I could tell the nurses and Dr.'s (while still being professional) were not pleased with this guy.  Turned out, he rammed his car into a patrolman's car and the car (the patrolmans) exploded and killed the officer.  A terrible tragedy for our community.  

What can we do about this senseless violence Katie?

And let's not forget, CO2 spewing vehicles are in the ongoing process of killing everyone (and polar bears, too).

ooh, k-katie,keep trying to blame the some one else, for all the blame street bad news. how about the facts first, the truth next??

More women use spooons and eat too many treats and get fat and unattractive.  If we can just start a spoon registration, it will prevent all kinds of bad outcomes.

Too many single moms startedd with a single spoonfull of ice cream.  Life spiraled out of control and next thing hubby was chasin' a hooters girl.

But it's worse than that -- or funnier in a macabre way how liberals have such selective standards on killing people.

10 years ago, it was reported that 45,000 Americans had died in survivable auto crashes because they should have survived since in the 1970s.

That's because of the insane CAFE standards which forced auto manufacturers to make cars smaller and "lighter" using non-protecting plastica and aluminum.

Of course, while that's continuing, States are busy passing essentially unenforceable legislation "banning" cell phone usage by drivers. How many people are killed annually because they were using their cell phone?

Well I saw a survey once that had that at around #9 in distractions causing accidents. Way less than being distracted by their kids. Eating? Smoking. Changing a CD.

Liberals love passing legislation that kills people. Look at the millions of impoverished black and brown people who've died of malaria because of the ban on DDT.

Should it be noted that these car-related deaths are accidents, and the shootings aren't?

More people are drowned in their own backyard pools than from firearms. In fact death from firearms, accidental or otherwise is very far down the list of causes of death in America. A simple google search reveals the number of drownings is also 5 times the number of deaths from firearms, yet I do not hear of any push to ban swimming pools. Interestingly, the number of people killed by their doctors or elective medical procedures is better than four times greater than from firearms and again, no ban on doctors operating on people. In fact if you think about it, you are less likely to die if you just stay home and play with your firearms than if you go to the doctor for some malidy. Every time some wing nut goes off and shoots some people the anti gun wing nuts start frothing at the mouth, making all kinds of untrue claims about guns being evil and killing people. I have numerous firearms that stay loaded for home security and I have yet to see one jump out of a closet or a night stand and kill anyone. These opportunists see this as a way to try and take the 2nd amendment and make it null and void. Bellowing cows and sheep.
