I didn't see anything about deaths. It only mentioned 'potential'.

Can a daily aspirin lower your cancer risk?
Evidence suggests taking a low-dose aspirin (81 milligrams) daily may protect you from developing many types of cancer, including those hardest to treat successfully, says Robert S. Bresalier, M.D., professor of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at MD Anderson.

Colon cancer, rectal cancer and prostate cancer are among the most common and life-threatening cancers in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. But aspirin use could have a positive impact on your risks for these diseases.
.
“Studies show long-term aspirin use lowers rates of precancerous colorectal polyps and prostate lesions,” Bresalier explains. In fact, taking a low-dose aspirin daily could reduce your colon cancer and rectal cancer risks by as much as 50%.
.
The story is much the same for other common cancers. A study of recovering breast cancer patients found those who took a daily aspirin for three to five years were 60% less likely to suffer from a recurrence of the disease. The aspirin swallowers also were 71% less likely to die as a result of breast cancer.

Yes there are many studies both ways on this. I noted that most of the studies that recommended daily aspirin treatment were authored by doctors that are also paid consultants to the large pharmaceutical companies and even they admit that you would see no potential benefit until 6 years of daily use. Also it was not really my point.
My point was that plain old everyday items we all have contact with on a daily basis, such as aspirin are more deadly to us than those big scary guns.
God I HOPE not. I want my gun to be deadly. If it's not I'll get one that is. That's the whole POINT of carrying a gun. Be deadly to the bad guy.
uh...one other thing.
Since you don't trust studies about medicine that are paid for by those involved with medicine....who do you trust?
Greenpeace?
Greenpeace..... not a chance in hell.
Also my guns all be very deadly as well but not to your average Joe/Jane minding their own non bad guy/gal biz,contrary to what the gun grabbers on the idiot box keep screaming.
