I found this report about life expectancy from Laywers Guns Money and boy is it something.

Gun-related deaths: The death rate for firearm-related homicides and suicides is 13.3 deaths per 100,000 in the U.S. compared to 0.1 per 100,000 in England and Wales. Ninety individuals died from firearm-related causes in England and Wales in 2023 compared to more than 45,000 in the United States.

Motor vehicle crashes: The death rate from motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. is six times greater than the rate in England and Wales—13.3 per 100,000 versus 2.2 per 100,000 in England and Wales.

Guns and giant vehicles define America. We can’t be surprised to reap what we sow. When I was a vehicle-owning person, the ones I purchased weighed around 3,000 pounds (they heaviest, a ’92 Ford F-150 was around 4,000 pounds). In fact, the best-feeling car I ever had was a heavy one at just shy of 3,000 pounds (’98 Saab 900s). Now? EVs are pushing the weight up to well over 5,500 pounds and some topping at over four tons. The amount of energy in an impact is just astounding.

Anyway, all of this will continue because Sandy Hook proved we will never do anything about guns and, as far as driving goes, occupant survival beats everything else (pedestrians be damned).
