What else should we ban because it kills people?

How about cell phones?

According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, NHTSA, in 2015, 3477 people were killed by distracted driving. The largest cause of distraction was cell phone use.  Nearly 10 people per DAY are killed because of cell phones. To put that number in perspective, EVERY 2 HOURS and 24 minutes someone is killed by cell phone usage, EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.

Every 4 days MORE people are killed by cell phones THAN the guns used in the shootings in Columbine and Parkland, combined.  That’s every 4 day, all year long, every year.  No one considers this a tragedy that requires eliminating Constitutional rights.  Why aren’t the kiddies, actors, and rappers protesting this FACT?  Does the word hypocrite come to mind?

Every 8 months MORE people are killed by cell phones THAN U.S. Servicemen were killed in 17 year of war in Afghanistan.  Just a little more perspective as to the magnitude of the issue.

The NHTSA also states that 391,000 are injured in distracted driving incidents in that year. That’s over 1000 people per day. To put it in perspective, a person is injured every MINUTE and 20 seconds, EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.

How about banning the use of cell phones in moving vehicles? Many states have. Do people follow those laws? Look around when you drive and come to your own conclusion.

Again to put things into perspective, by the time you read this article someone was probably injured because of cell phone use while driving. Go out and have meal and most likely someone will be killed during that time.

And as I wrote about before about cell phones, millennials who scream about RACISM should smash their cell phones. You can read the article HERE.
