overdose deaths are the leading cause of injury death in the United States, ahead of motor vehicle deaths and firearms (deaths)," the Drug Enforcement Agency announced on Wednesday.

In 2013, the most recent year for which data is available, 46,471 people in the United States died from drug overdoses, and more than half of those deaths were caused by prescription painkillers and heroin.

That compares with the 35,369 who died in motor vehicle crashes and 33,636 who died from firearms, as tallied by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Drugs kill more than cars and guns. Drug overdose death is seriously underestimated.

Why are you trying to tell them how to live their lives, you liberal? </sarcasm>

Seriously, how many of America's problems could be solved by removing the warning labels and "for your own protection" things out there? Let Darwin take it's course...

I agree Doc, for claiming we're the party that doesn't believe in natural selection,  DUches don't realize that we do believe in it.... Just where they're involved.   :-)

For the most part, we're immune to that form of Darwin...

Illegal aliens carry untold numbers of drugs across the border into the US.
I'm on a tear about illegals if it hasn't been noticeable.
