Gee, Imagine that. Guns are not the evil that all of the good politicaly correct Amerikans want them to be 
We better get up a crusade against vehicles and other causes
Now exactly what do other causes look like.

Is this a graph of All Causes of Death, or Accidental Causes of Death, or what?
A title would make this very revealing chart even more compelling.

Well, visted the link to the site that was "on" the picture. Looks like it was on "Fatalities Among Children 0-14 years old." So it's not just accidents, but all deaths. Too bad it stops at 14 years of age though. And...considering the graph age begins at "0," shouldn't abortion be in there? That'd take a major chunk of that graph right off the bat! But...that's another can o' worms....

Ya know, when they say that the US has more firearm related incidents than any other country do they consider:
- US is largest country (by far) and one of the few which allows private citizens to own firearms.
- Most firearm related incidents are in cities/counties/states which regulate firearm useage the most. (Chicago, New York, Washington D.C.)

Well I for one DON'T like the picture.
I can take no satisfaction in any graph, chart or piece of graffiti that shows any children whatsoever being killed by firearms. If we are seen to be saying things that COULD be interpreted as meaning "heck, only 2.9% of child deaths are firearms related, that ain't even worth the ink" then we can easily be seen as having little regard for anything but our shooting rights, whereas that's just plain wrong, well isn't it ?. We risk being glib about the taking of young lives at our mutual peril.
