There is roughly the same number. It's about 250-300 mil registered cars in the US and about the same number of guns. However those 250 mil guns are spread out across roughly 50 million households.
That's roughly 45-50% of US household that have a gun meanwhile it's only about 9% of the households in the US that don't have a car or roughly 91% that do.
Meaning it's far more likely for a gun owner to own more than one gun than it is for a car owner to own more than one car and simply put cars are used far more often by more people than guns, which is why they are involved in more deaths.
