Where Are Bloomberg’s ‘Moms Against Bicycle “Violence” ‘ ?

Bicycle-Hazard-Symbol-Sign-K-6729Mass shooting gun violence pales in comparison.

“…the CDC bicycle-related injury report for 2010 shows that almost twice as many people died on bicycles in that one year than were killed in “mass shootings” during the 14 years studied by the FBI. Thus, while there were 418 deaths in “mass shootings” from 2000 to 2013, there were 800 deaths by bicycle in 2010 alone.”

Or maybe Mad Moms against Gravity?  I don’t think the government is doing enough…

And CDC death statistics for 2010 show there were 26,009 deaths from “falling” for that year alone. That’s right–26,009 deaths in one year from falls from ladders, counters, roofs, mountains, etc.

The Democrats could really milk this one.  Victims of gravity related ‘violence.’  That “constituency” has to be huge.  And Al Gore could write a book about it and then jet-stream and Escalade his way here and there to warn us about the increasing risk that gravity presents to everyday citizens of planet earth (and civilization as he’d like to run it).

And while we’re at it…

…there were 4,873 murders committed with “personal weapons” like “feet” and “fists” and 10,769 murders committed with “knives and cutting instruments” from 2006 through 2011 alone. That is an average of 812 persons killed each of those years with weapons like “feet” and “fists” and an average of 1,794.8 stabbed to death annually during that same period.

And fire?  Yes, more murders are committed with fire than by mass shooters.
