Traffic fatalities and accidents around the home or for the most part not self imposed
This is where we differ then on the word "accident", a homicide or gun related death due to someone else consciously pulling the trigger is not an accident, also there is no such thing as an "accident" when it comes to home injuries or vehicles, all mishaps are preventable where possible. Cars are supposed to be road worthy, if not why not? The car stopped in front of you as you run up their arse has stopped for a reason, why were you so close that you didn't allow for enough time to stop, this applies to all road conditions. The person jaywalking suddenly in front of a 2 ton vehicle is preventable if that person jaywalking had of used a designated crosswalk or traffic intersection, the person running inot said jaywalker probably should have been aware of pedestrians walking across the street, all preventable, an accident is like an act of God...such as a lightning strike, very unnavoidable.....falling off the ladder while putting up Christmas lights is also preventable, did they have a second person to ensure the ladder wouldn't slide of the gutter's/eavestroughs. Was the oven burner left on when little susy burned herself, or was the boiling pot of water left to boil and the handle sticking out so little susy would bump into it and scald herself, did the Tim Allen type dude ensure the wiring he was doing was certified by a qualified electrician, did they have their chimney recently cleaned of soot...all preventable...

We like to write everything off to, "it was an accident" the tree jumped out in front of me, same with people who avoid hitting animals but then go face to face with the oncoming car, result...cat's fine but the occupants of both vehicles are part of the dashboards...very preventable, your supposed to run into the animal to avoid complicating everything by causing more mishaps and endangering others.

So I don't believe it is a fair comparison to use what is essentially preventable deaths to those that are unpreventable such as being shot by someone who is making the choice for you...
