“Gun Death” Car Crash

Can’t Compare Cars and Guns

Five Bowling Green State University sorority sisters, hoping to be enjoying spring break this morning on a Dominican Republic beach, instead were involved in a horrific highway accident early Friday that claimed four lives. One of the dead is a BGSU junior from Aurora…The State Highway Patrol said the car carrying the sorority members was hit by a wrong-way driver on Interstate 75, not far from the university. The patrol said the collision occurred where northbound lanes slope downward and there is a broad curve.

Two vehicles with members of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority were traveling together on their way to Detroit. The students planned to catch an early-morning flight to Newark, N.J., and from there go to Punta Cana, a popular beach resort.

The people who use “Gun Death” as a metric will often point out to accidents with guns, but with gun accidents rarely is there such a body count. Is there a reason why “Gun Death” is a somehow a valid metric?

    I sent you that story because it happened right after the Chardon, Ohio School Shootings. I’m still waiting for the Candlelight Vigil for those poor girls who were killed on the Highway. Or has Joan dropped me from her Mailing List and I missed her call for the end of “Car Violence?”
