[W126 Coupe] REAL STATISTICS off topic

[Chiappinelli, Joseph]

Interesting statistics. The analysis would be more complete if you added up the other side of the ledger, i.e., the number of lives saved by guns (I'm sure there were some) vs the number of lives saved by doctors (I'm sure there were many, many more). 
 
For the record, I am neither pro nor anti gun control.
