@darrenallen8215 Lol, there are about as many vehicles owned, as guns. They have an alternate purpose, to travel from point A to point B. They are used an average of 2 hrs a day. The vast majority of the time, they simply do get safely from point A to point B. Do you think there is no point, to all the vehicle regulations (licensing, registration, insurance, speed limits, seatbelts, no driving zones, certain vehicles not allowed on the road, safety standards, etc.), because criminals will just ignore them anyway?
Guns have no alternative use, other than to shoot things. Relative to vehicles, guns are rarely used, but they still kill as many people. They are clearly the far more dangerous item, and yet they're far less regulated. Why is it, do you think, that states with less regulations tend to have higher firearm mortality, and homicide, rates? Why is it that other developed countries, with tougher gun laws, tend to have lower firearm mortality, and homicide, rates (and, in turn, cops that shoot citizens 3 to 100s of times lower rates, per capita)?

@darrenallen8215 No, they don't, dumb dumb.
Motor vehicle traffic deaths

All firearm deaths
Number of deaths: 48,830
Deaths per 100,000 population: 14.7

And, like I said, that's with tons of vehicles constantly being used, unlike guns. Guns are, by far, the more dangerous item, and yet less regulated.
