Which kills more, Guns or speeding?

Funny, to save 3000 lives, we decimate the Police force. We alienate 90% of the population with stupid motoring laws, in order to save possibly 3000 lives per year.

How many lives taken by guns, gang warfare, and the drug related culture?? how many more crappy records gonna be inflicted on us in the name of "da gangsta" ?

This has only got as bad as it has since Bliar got in. Make it hard for the motorist, and easy for the gangs.

Somethings gotta change! So, what kills more?

In the UK I would hazzard a guess at inapropriate speeding killing more people than guns, Although in actual fact, guns don't kill anyone, its technicaly the guy who pulls the trigger.

And the bullet

In that case, speeding and cars dont kill, just the driver.

No, the car actually causes the damage, but yes your right in a way, maybe my original post should have said its not the gun but the bullet/projectile that kills, but I still think that inapropriate speed kills more people in the UK than Guns/bullets/gunmen. Of course I could be wrong.
