Guns are dangerous? Not so much… not compared to floors, stairs, beds and bathtubs…

So firearms are the mechanism of injury in about 60,000 ER visits each month.  Thank you CNN:

Let’s look at some more common reasons why people visit the ER, shall we?

1. Floors: 2.135 million hospital visits
2. Stairs or steps: 1.027 million hospital visits
3. Beds or bed frames: 912,000 hospital visits
4. Bathtubs or showers: 431,000 hospital visits
5. Tables: 327,000 hospital visits
6. Chairs: 319,000 hospital visits
7. Interior ceilings and walls: 293,000 hospital visits
8. Sofas, couches, davenports, divans, or studio couches: 211,000 hospital visits
9. Rugs or carpets: 206,000 hospital visits
10. Toilets: 204,000 hospital visits

Perhaps we should regulate floors, stairs, beds, bathtubs & showers, tables (no dancing on the tables, kids), chairs (ditto), sofas, rugs (!), and last but not least, toilets.
