What about banning ladders?

President Biden has recently been discussing bans on AR-15s and other standard semi-automatic rifles.  

This recent article on the CDC's 2018 report on deaths in America puts an interesting spin on the need to ban rifles: falling kills a lot more people than rifles do.  Here are some of the facts shown in the report, in 2018 there were: ​

• 297 intentional deaths by rifle
• 443 intentional deaths by hammers, clubs and blunt objects
• 37,455 deaths by accidental falls

126 times more people died by accidentally falling than those killed by rifles.   Seems like we could save more lives by banning hammers or ladders!  

Something that isn't mentioned by those trying to ban guns, of course, is how many lives are saved by rifles (and other guns)  each year.  Studies have shown that guns are used between 16 and 100 more times each year to save lives than to take lives.  That's between 500,000 and 3 million times each year to save lives!!!
