Nothing to see here, and if the lamestream media is true to form you never will either.
For the first time in almost half a century, homicide has fallen off the list of the nation’s top 15 causes of death, bumped by a lung illness that often develops in elderly people who have choked on their food.
The 2010 list, released by the government Wednesday, reflects at least two major trends: Murders are down, and deaths from certain diseases are on the rise as the population ages, health authorities said.
Homicide was overtaken at No. 15 by pneumonitis, seen mainly in people 75 and older. It happens when food or vomit goes down the windpipe and causes deadly damage to the lungs.
This is the first time since 1965 that homicide failed to make the list, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
I wonder what is happening as gun ownership goes sky high, carry permits rising faster than even in the last 3 years … Oops I forgot those Castle laws kicking in. Crooks now know that victims shoot back, ehhh.
