You are neglecting the medical costs of treatment prior to death and also treating those who are injured by guns but not killed. I don't know the exact numbers

You are neglecting the medical costs of treatment prior to death and also treating those who are injured by guns but not killed. I don't know the exact numbers but I have to imagine that $2bn worth of gun safety courses comes pretty close to paying for itself when all costs are included.
- zepto 10y agoIt's absurd to suggest that it costs $2bn to treat 500 people who die of their injuries. If you don't have numbers to back up the idea that that injuries soak up the rest of the expense then I'm just going to call it and say your imagination is flat out wrong. Most gun related deaths are not accidents, and wouldn't be presented by safety classes.
