If you apply that same type of thinking to auto’s / driving a car then we would not have any more car accidents, or stolen cars....
Thats an all or nothing approach and not even remotely valid.
If only you had to take a test to learn to drive a car....
If you had to show proof of insurance to register your car...
If we only had a way to lic each auto we could identify each auto.....
Car accidents kill more kids, elderly and family’s than guns. Driving is a privilege and not a right.
Yet the number of deaths per mile driven is a fraction of what it was 50 years ago. Do you think that happened by accident?
Yes, some people shouldn’t own fire arms. And there way more people that shouldnt drive a car. Is it silly to compare the 2?
Its absolutely valid to compare the two as long as you do so normalizing the Use VS. Fatality data.

LOL.
Your data is bullshit. More accidents then EVER every year, the only reason deaths have been reduced is because of safety systems and additions of vehicle control systems like ABS, Airbags, Stability Control, on to the nanny state bullshit like lane protection and collision avoidance, BAS etc.
Cars are safer through better engineering, people are getting worse at driving due to shit like cell phones, texting while driving etc.
