That&#x27;s literally the third sentence in the article, which also mentions the rise in suicide and fall in gun homicide rates two sentences below that. The title is dry and accurate.<p>&gt; yet there is zero reason to conflate that with homicides involving a firearm.<p>The article doesn&#x27;t conflate anything; it makes a very interesting and important comparison: vehicle deaths (which have been extensively studied for decades, with much federal regulation and other pressure to improve safety) are now on par with gun deaths (which had been banned from federal research for nearly two decades).<p>&gt; It&#x27;s amazing that we&#x27;ve improved vehicle safety in the last 60 years<p>Wouldn&#x27;t it be nice if fewer people were dying from guns as well?
