So far the total of all four fatalities is not equal to the number of deaths due to guns. However, the number of deaths in traffic accidents rose to nearly 44,000 in 2006, overwhelming the number of deaths caused by guns.

However, as a result of the progress of safety measures, the number of deaths declined with the peak in 2006, and in 2013 it was about 33,000, down to almost the same level as the number of deaths of guns.

Vox points out that the government actively takes measures against budget and time to reduce traffic accidents and AIDS victims, while neglecting even basic measures for guns .

Regarding the current gun shooting incident, Mr. Donald Trump, who is sure to become a Republican presidential candidate, resigned to President Obama who was a crime of a person related to IS and did not mention that at the press conference I asked.
