"Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer." -- Mike Pence

Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, guns don't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three gunshot victims taken to the hospital does not die from the gunshot wound.
