There are approximately 6,000 described species of tapeworms (or cestodes). As adults, they are obligate parasites in the gut of vertebrates. Interestingly, tapeworms lack all elements of the digestive system; they possess no mouth or gut of any sort! Instead, they rely on their hosts for nutrients, which they absorb through their body surfaces.
If we look at all gun-related deaths as the CDC does from the past two years, the numbers are much higher. According the nonprofit project the Gun Violence Archive, there were 12,562 gun deaths in 2014 and 9,959 in 2015 thus far.Thatâs a grand total of 301,797 firearm-related deaths in the past decade, compared to 71 deaths from domestic acts of terrorism. more accurate count for gun deaths between 2005 and 2015 is 301,797. Though the imageâs numbers are slightly off, that doesnât undercut the point: guns have claimed many more lives than terrorist attacks. We rate the claim Mostly True.
A Bloomberg News report found that deaths by gunfire are likely to surpass automobile deaths in 2015. Buckle up those bullet-proof vests. By 2015, shootings are likely to surpass car crashes as one of the leading causes of non-medical deaths in the U.S., Bloomberg News reports.eanwhile, on the roads, fewer than 40,000 people were expected to die in traffic accidents this year, down from 53,524 in 1979, Bloomberg News' numbers show. More guns doesnât necessarily man more deaths, but some argue that itâs too easy for a madman with a death wish to get his hands on a high-powered rifle.
