From the brochure: "automobiles are involved with approximately 48,000 deaths each year, over 99% of which are accidental. Firearms are involved with about 37,000 deaths, but only about 4% are accidental. Suicides and homicides account for 95% of this total."
It would be helpful for SAAMI to break out suicides vs. homicides, and to give totals for the other methods of suicide and homicide.
By "homicide", it appears that SAAMI is lumping together all deaths by someone else pulling a trigger, including self-defense in the same statistic as premeditated murder.
"strongly support measures designed to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and other individuals who are not to be considered responsible firearms owners." Are you orthodox enough, comrade?
I'm not, but they THINK I am, based on my lack of a criminal record. The bumblebee is not aerodynamic, according to just about the entire scientific community. Fortunately, it is unaware of this reseach, so it flies anyway.
Last page speaks volumes: Formed at the request of the Federal Government in 1926..............not a friend, just another bureaucratic chancre.

David, didn't SAAMI play an important role in the "Sporting Purpose" test that disallows importation of guns we like under federal law?
