Wow!  For the state to spend so much time and effort on the education of gun and ammunition safety I figured I needed to see just how much of a problem gun related deaths were in Washington as compared to other related deaths and health issues.  Here is what I found;

Since they mentioned the success of public health education in car fatalities and smoking I thought I would look at those first.  Though no death rates related to smoking exist their has been a study showing a 30% reduction in smokers since 1999.  And though Washington is one of the leaders in the US for smallest percentage of smokers at 17.5% the national average is 19.3%.  That's an awful lot of regulation to save less than 2%.  But I guess every little bit helps.

The motor vehicle death rate is also impressive here in Washington state.  It's actually one of the lowest in the US at .0084%.  Actually lower than the state firearm related death rate.  That I am extremely surprised at.  So good for Washington! 

But how major is this firearm related death rate in the state of Washington?  Let's see...

Washington State percentage rates by population:

.0091% death rate related to firearm related injuries. (includes police related shootings)
.71% overall death rate
.0130% child death rate
.0180% Abortion rate
.0134% Suicide rate
.1544% death rate from heart disease
.0457% death rate from Alzheimer's disease
.0228% Death rate from diabetes
.0107% Death rate from influenza/pneumonia

Other health issues by population.  (not death rates)

.3138% effected by violent crimes
44% of women report domestic violence in lifetime
25.8% of women with high blood pressure
.0267% teen birth rate
61% overweight/obesity
.3203% with chlamydia
.0430% with gonorrhea
.0080% with syphilis

Seems to me that there are a whole list of things more important to the health and wellbeing of Washington state residence than firearm related issues.  Sure wish we could concentrate on issues important to "The People" and spend less time taxing and raising revenue on issues only important to the reelection hopes of career politicians.

Thanks Rad, that's interesting good stuff.

The right mouse button is disabled in this computer lab.  I can't copy and paste the judiciary emails. 

I'll dig out my laptop tonight and get to a wifi hotspot and do it there.

It's pathetic how regardless of the issue all the people of the socialist party can think of is how can we profit from it?

All this bologna is about to convince me to move to another "smarter and more friendly" state.

Idaho is close, and becoming more and more appealing.   :yeah:
yes its nice but Idaho just recently (sherrifs) decided to back the feds and enforce these new gun bans they were the first to put it on paper.cant remember what post its in but its in here somewhere.
if what you are saying or doing isnt helping a situation stop saying it or doing it.

ya fricking turn coats
ON a better note Wyoming passed it's nulification bill.
I read somewhere too that legally Montana might be one of the few that could legally seccede.
why? because when they voted to become a state there was something in their constitution that allowed them to if they wanted or needed.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
