And yet 96 people every day die in American due to auto-related accidents.
93 die a day from gun related incidents.
There are roughly 250 millions cars registered in the US.
There are roughly 347 million guns in American.
Thus making guns statistically safer than cars, despite the technological advancements in automobiles.
Compared to the rest of the world, and despite all the guns from 2010-2015 America is no where near the top of gun related homicides per 100,000 people...

Globally, the US sees fewer gun-related murders than many of its southern neighbors.
According to the Small Arms Survey, El Salvador is currently home to the most gun-related murders in the world (excluding active war-zones) with guns killing more than 90 people for every 100,000 of population.
From 2010-2015, Honduras saw the highest averages of gun-related homicides, with guns killing 67 out of every 100,000 people there.
Venezuela and El Salvador also top the charts over the same five-year period, with 52 and 49 gun-related deaths, respectively, for every 100,000 of population.
