Those who use “Gun Death” as a metric seem to claim that guns are vastly too dangerous to keep at home because of risk to family members. Still what’s a bigger risk, shooting with a gun, or a meal maker poisoning food?
Two Missouri women accused of poisoning family members with antifreeze are being held without bond….Both women are charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree assault and one count of armed criminal action.
They waived a reading of the charges Monday and entered not guilty pleas. A judge ruled that they will be held without bond until their preliminary hearing next month.

Pretty scary, also sinister, since Ethylene Glycol, unlike most poisons which taste bitter, is sweet. Mix that with food and it can hide easily allowing for toxic amounts to be ingested.
But hey, a gun is WAYYY more dangerous! Somebody could have been KILLED if they had had a gun!!!

She didn’t use one of those high-capacity anti-freeze containers did she? We really need to limit anti-freeze to 10oz. per container of less… I mean who really needs more than 10oz. at any given time…
