9. Im not saying ANYTHING about

the dangers of having a firearm nor am i saying things shouldnt be regulated or changed. I was responding to the PERCEIVED dangers people think they are in. Those who think they are going to step out of their house and get shot, those who think they are sending their kids to a shooting gallery, those who think as soon as they step foot off the plane during a vacation are going to be met with bullets. That is NOT the reality of the country as a whole. Not even close. The vehicle example was to show that there are significantly other issues you should be worried about in your daily life than winding up on the other end of a gun.

Of which vehicle deaths are behind gun deaths, but then vehicle accidents are 20x higher and both types of vehicle issues also tend to be accidents, that is indiscriminate which tends to be even more terrifying for average individuals going about their day. As i said 2/3rds of gun deaths are suicides with the bulk of the rest being one on one conflicts with individuals they know (family members, neighbors ect.), rival gangs and the like.

Also there isnt 72million registered firearms or that is to say 72million in citizens hands. There is no federal registry nor any federal law saying you have to register your firearm in 90% of the country. Private sales are largely legal, home made, 3d printed and 80% lower builds are all generally legal and require no serial numbers. Most guns made before the 1968 gun control act also were not even required to have serial numbers of any kind. The actual amount of firearms in civilian hands is estimated to be atleast 4-5x that number.
