Oh, smoking kills more people than gun violence. Grand so, now I think it's ok. And the 'life clock' part? Facts? Sources? no, of course not. I'll believe it blindly because it said it on the NRA website.

What makes this 'tick'?
Is it based on averages or what?

Surely they dont have some person sit by the computer to update this thing as the news come in??

Well how else would they do it?

What I find funniest is that the "Lives Saved" stats are based on a 12 year old survey.
