“Gun Death” Hay Baler

Of course accidents also count in “Gun Deaths”. There are things vastly more dangerous than guns in that regard.

A farm worker died from severe crushing and compression asphyxia after he became trapped in a baler at a farm near Mossburn.

Daryl David Rolton, 58, of Edendale, died after he became trapped in the baler and was crushed at a Centre Hill Rd farm between Mossburn and Te Anau in March.

Brutal. And a shame. But it wasn’t a gun. Odd that people who use the metric of “Gun Death” want to restrict guns when somebody is accidentally killed or injured by a firearm…but they never seem to care about things like cars or hay balers when they kill…
