On I40 in TN there are signs listing the number of traffic fatalities so far this year.Just days before the National Rifle Association's Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Nashville, a D.C.-based nonprofit that advocates for gun control released an analysis Tuesday that said the state's gun deaths surpassed motor vehicle deaths in 2013.
The Violence Policy Center said Tennessee shares this distinction with 16 other states, along with the District of Columbia.
The analysis is attributed to 2013 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. The center said 2013 is "the most recent year for which comprehensive state-level data is available."
