Study Says Guns Kill More Arizonans Than Cars

An analysis released by the Violence Policy Center says Arizona has more deaths from firearms than from motor vehicle crashes. The study says that in 2009, there were  809 people  killed in vehicle crashes and there were 856 gun deaths.

The Tucson Sentinel reports that Arizona is one of ten states where more people were killed by guns than in crashes.

The national figures show around 31,000  firearm deaths and around 36,000 deaths from crashes.

Charles Heller of the Arizona Citizens Defense League calls the report politically motivated. He says Japan has a higher suicide rate than the US and “none of that is from guns.”
