I'm pretty sure as a 6'3" well built man, I could knock several heads off with a bat, I could walk through a crowd and stab several people with a knife, I could poison a ton of people with pure nicotine, I could do a lot of different things. If I am intent on killing people, I'm going to kill as many as I can, regardless of what tool I use.
Besides, none of those mass murder guys needed to use an assault rifle to inflict the damage they did. A simple hand gun could have cause just as much.
So no matter how you look at it, your arguments ignore the facts and as such, are completely invalid.

And yet, they are not designed for killing but manage to kill far more people than guns do. Your blatant disregard of the facts do not make them any less factual. And not every auto related incident is an accident, just as every firearm related incident isn't intended.
