With these cars being made available to the public there's no way of keeping them away from people who intend to abuse them. If 1 life can be saved, then it needs to be done.
    youre kind of mizing two arguments truthfully.

    Accidental car deaths is not congruent to mass killing perpetrated willingly.

    To have an accurate comparison you would need to include:
    All accidental car deaths vs all accidental shooting deaths
    All crimes committed with a car vs all crimes committed with a gun

    I suspect the cars vastly outweigh the guns in either scenario but it should. Cars are much more likely to be used daily than guns. You drive to work because you have to, you dont have to shoot your gun at a range daily to survive.

    It would be like comparing eating and choking hazards to accidental death by say, going to the mall.

    My suggestion would not remove travel, it would just have the government provide you with your travel via public transportation. The same way the police would provide us with protection if there were no guns.
