Poll question: Homicide in America .....
If you think that you were ever to be a homicide victim in this country - what implement of murder do you think would be used?
What do you most likely fear? What would be the number one scenario?

1. Statistically I am most likely to be taken out by an aggressive or negligent driver

It's a jungle out there on the mean freeways of Southern California, but I believe the same is true for most other people.

Frankly I worry very little about the rest of the "choices".

For an objective answer, you can roll your own query at http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_sy.html

2. I thought of this in light of the constant debate over gun control.
Made me wonder what people most likely (if they answered honestly) feared would be used against them if they indeed were to become a victim of homicide. I think that it would probably be a gun for me - given the percentage of gun deaths in this country as opposed to other forms.
