Opioid Crisis Leads Surgeon General to Urge Americans to Carry Overdose Antidote Kits. Perhaps if the anti-gun wingnuts running about were really serious about saving lives they’d worry about drug deaths instead. But, we know the real agenda is gun confiscation and that saving lives is only a pretence. The math is below.
- Drug overdose deaths are approximately 63,000 per year
- Gun deaths are about 36,200 per year
- Of the 36,200 per year approximately 22,000 are suicide leaving about 14,200 non-suicide gun deaths.
