You have seen this country do a 180 when it comes to firearms, and right fully so. We are looking at, within weeks of a horrible tragedy, better regulation and sweeping gun laws, changes by companies (Dick's Sporting Goods will no longer sell 'assault style firearms' and some retailers are raising the minimum age to purchase), even the President of the United Stated, Donald Trump, is fighting FOR banning 'bump-stocks'. Now, guns have taken over the conversation. Politicians would join in to get their face on TV and say a fluff piece about how horrible it is. There was a time when every talking head on CNN and Fox News would talk about the 'opioid epidemic'.

However, addiction still causes more death in the United States than guns and no one is talking about it anymore. As of February 21st, there have been 34 mass shooting events, most notably the school shooting in Florida by a disgruntled student. There has been a great deal of attention given to changing gun laws in 2018 because of the tragic and inexcusable mass shootings that have taken place this year.

Do drunk drivers killed more than guns
