That's actually my point, T-bone.  Cars, with decades worth of safety features added, billions in research to design and implement such features, *still kill more people* than firearms, which as far as handguns are concerned, don't even have a safety or a de-cocker, with firearms not having anything more advanced than a simple trigger block safety, if even that.

You're clearly not very well versed on the gun issue.  I was comparing *accidental deaths*, which make up the vast majority of road deaths, but only around 1.6% of gun deaths.  There are far more guns in the U.S. - Official estimates are 320 million, probably closer to 500 million, compared to 262 million vehicles.

To reiterate the point; Cars have had decades of research and development, as well as billions of dollars spent on adding safety feature after safety feature to modern vehicles.  Yet the accidental death rate for vehicles is FAR higher than it is for guns.
