Fair point with the car accident, GR. My counter: a car serves a practical purpose, a gun does not. Yes, you can shoot deer with it. Or you can just buy venison from the supermarket (much easier IMO). Yes, you can defend yourself with it... and tell me, how many times have you ever had to? I often see gun owners on this forum talking macho about what would or would not happen if someone tried to break into their house, molest their daughters, or whatever, but has any of that actually ever happened to you? Ever? Yes a car can kill, but that's not what it's designed for and driving to work is something I have to do every day - how many days a week do you have to shoot someone?
