Yes, I know. That was always a terrible argument even when cars were killing more kids than guns.
Most people in modern society are CONSTANTLY surrounded by people using cars. We’ve literally built most of our cities around them. An urban commuter might see tens or even hundreds of thousands of people actively using their automobiles in a single day. An avid hunter or target shooter might see a few dozen guns in a month, IF he regularly visits a shooting range.
In other words, if cars were as inherently dangerous as guns then the death toll wouldn’t even be close because the sheer number of human/car interactions is orders of magnitude higher than the number of human/gun interactions.
