Why can't we look at total numbers of vehicle and gun deaths?
Then break down which cars and which guns are the worst offenders and ban them?
That'd be a tad bit silly, wouldn't it?

Fact is, no one's giving up their car. A few (40+) thousand dead people is worth it a year so we Americans can take our fat asses to the Taco Bell drive thru at any hour we please.
In an unrelated note, my local McDonalds is now open 24 hours drive-thru and lobby. A boon to college students, night-owls, and the graveyard shifts.
Nope, I say we tighten the laws even more....oh wait, criminals don't obey the law....
It really is an easy concept....for some to understand...
Criminals aren't the ones doing the mass shootings, although it baffles me that anyone can buy a gun (including criminals) at a gun show without a background check. Most of the mass shootings are done by sick kids who grab their parents rifles and go on a shooting spree.

So maybe we should lock up all the sick kids.
What baffles me is why you would do a background check at all. Gun registration has never prevented a crime.
If more gun owners were willing to give up their guns the children around them would be safer.
"A New Harvard University Study Shows Direct Link Between Gun Availability And Gun Death Among Children
Most Comprehensive Study Ever Conducted on Impact of Gun Availability Sends Simple Message: IT'S THE GUNS, STUPID
The study shows that children age 5 - 14 living in the five states with the highest levels of gun ownership were 16 times more likely to die from unintentional firearm injury, seven times more likely to die from firearm suicide, and three times more likely to die from firearm homicide than children in the five states with the lowest levels of gun ownership. Additionally, children in the top five gun ownership states were twice as likely to die from homicide and suicide overall as children in the five lowest gun ownership states.
