Ah yes, the criminals got some guns on the street. So the obvious solution is to get more guns out there on the street. So damned reasonable. An American has more chance of being killed by a fellow American with a gun than does a Frenchman of being killed by a terrorist.
This year, deaths by firearms will probably exceed motor vehicle deaths this year. We can all be proud of that.
Auto accidents are accidental, if you only include accidental deaths by guns it wouldn't even make it on the graph, because the number is about 500. BTW there are about 46 million more guns than cars.
And cars are used millions more each day. Obviously something used millions more will have more accidents. But if you look at how much they are used the rate of accidents with guns is way higher than cars.
Prove it, show me a study that compares the average number of accidents per use.
Accurately Comparing Death Rates from Motor Vehicle and Firearm Use
Deaths per round fired- 1 per 475 thousand (475,000)
Deaths per mile of motor vehicle travel- 1 per 60 million (60,000,000)
