How about a thought experiment...

MASS SHOOTING
People Murdered

97

Source: FBI [2019]

DRUNK DRIVING
Passengers, Pedestrians & Other Motorists Killed

4,428

excludes the drunk driver, if they died in the crash.

That means 45 times more innocent people are killed by drunk drivers than mass murderers.

Ok, but what if we look at ALL deaths
(murders, suicides, etc.)

GUN
RELATED DEATHS

83,784

Source: CDC [2019]

ALCOHOL
RELATED DEATHS

320,403

Source: CDC [2019]

Almost 4 times more deaths are Alcohol related...

Shouldn't we be more concerned about Alcohol's effect on society?

Section here on news articles?

You're probably a bit uncomfortable about this comparison.

Have you driven drunk? 1 in 6 people in the US have. (need statistics here) Have you ever shot someone? Probably not. of the 22 million firearms owners, only 1 in 1000 are involved in a shooting. (need statistics here)
