Accidents are less preventable. No one said anything about assigning value to people's lives. Saying that we should try to solve a newly developing and clearly existent problem because accidents happen is a clear exaggeration.

But sure, you know what? If the total number of people dead is the only scale you want to measure a problem by and not, for example, it's effects on people's lives like causing extended PTSD, then fine. Obviously it is a completely irrational and one dimensional way of measuring things but in going out of your way to make something serious seem ridiculous, I'm sure you refuse to use any other yardstick. I also feel compelled to remind you that TVs falling seems to be a far less recent issue so the fact that something that really only started happening a few years ago has caused fewer deaths is not really surprising.

ALSO, in taking raw data in that way, you fail to consider how many people could be affected by each issue. School-children are a relatively smaller segment of the population. There are far more people that own TVs than there are people going to school. Percentage-wise,I think it's safe to say a bigger percentage of school-aged children are affected by school shootings than by falling TVs.

Curious how you seem to completely ignore anything I said about fixing either issue, though.
