You cannot compare firearms to automobiles. Automobiles are created and used for transportation, while firearms are used to kill people.
You can live without firearms. You cannot live without automobiles. You do not need a rifle to hunt; You can hunt using a bow and arrow. But without automobiles food would not be available at your local grocery story.
Every day every American uses or eats something transported on a car or truck, while some Americans will go their entire lives without ever having to touch a firearm. My wife drives every day of her life, but has never touched a firearm.
You can't compare firearm deaths to automobile deaths. Firearm deaths are usually intentional, while automobile deaths are always accidents.
