However, with mass shootings continuing at a rapid rate — and with so many mass shooters using AR-15s, a registry is certainly a compromise worth discussing.
What a line of BS.
More people died in/of (Insert stupid cause) than were killed by ARs in a year.
Coconuts
Beach-goers are probably more scared of sharks than coconuts, but the brown, hairy fruit is actually responsible for more annual human deaths than the ferocious sea creatures. Falling coconuts kill an alarmingly high 150 people each year!
Mosquito Bites
For most people, mosquito bites are just an annoyance, but they can also be lethal. As the world's deadliest insect, mosquitos are most dangerous because they can carry malaria. Malaria contracted from mosquito bites kills an astounding 2 million people per year.
Autoerotic Asphyxiation
Strangling oneself while masturbating may not seem like a widespread phenomenon, but it actually kills 600 people each year. Probably not the happy ending these people were looking for.
Falling Out Of Bed
Getting out of bed in the morning may be hard sometimes, but who would have thought that it could actually be threatening to your life!? 450 people in the US die from falling out of their beds each year.
Suicide In NYC
Many people are afraid of moving or traveling to New York City due to the crime rates — fearful that they could be murdered. In actuality, more people in NYC die from suicide each year than from homicide.
Animal Chauffeurs
Yes, cars are deadly, but so are horse-drawn carriages, it turns out. About 120 people die each year sue to being a passenger in a vehicle that is pulled by an animal.
Tap Water
You're probably wondering what's so dangerous about your kitchen or bathroom sink. The scalding water from the faucet can be deadly if it isn't monitored, and this causes the demise of 43 people annually.
Vending Machines
While the sugary contents of these machines may cause a slow death, the bulky dispensers themselves are responsible for the deaths of 10-13 people each year due to falling and crushing. There's a reason for that "no shaking" warning label!
Icicles
It's hard to imagine an icicle killing someone, but 100 people die anually after being impaled by falling icicles in Russia alone. These icy chunks may be beautiful, but it turns out they're also deadly.
