Very good. So knowing that car accidents kill more people than guns, why don't you stop driving?
A handgun is for one primary purpose -- to kill. About 8,500 times a year in the U.S. A car's primary purpose is to transport people from one location to another. How many times was a car used to kill? Probably less than 100 times a year.
And we do many things to keep a car out of the hands of those who are unskilled to use it as meant. Age restrictions. Driving tests. Car registration (which cost). Licenses (which cost).
It is very doubtful that Obama will get any gun control legislation through Congress in the next year. Simply too much opposition to it in Congress.

How many times is a car used to kill INTENTIONALLY? How about adding in the accidents and mishandling like that crappy statistic that keeps floating back to the top.
Yep, we restrict ownership and use of cars (unless you're an illegal) but cars kill many more people than do guns and it is not even a right.
Yes, there is going to be more to this story.
