No doubt.

My point was merely to illustrate that there's way more guns out there than responsible gun owners.

Unfortunately one gets the rap for the other


Which kill more people annually?

A. Stupid gun owners
B. Stupid automobile owners

I'm a 2nd amendment advocate, but some of the reasons people bring up to defend gun rights are a bit ridiculous.

Obviously automobile owners kill more people than gun owners, but we all come into contact with automobile owners using automobiles than we do gun owners using guns. That is the equivalent of saying black crime is not a problem because there are more white people in jail than there are black people.

Well there were 33,000 gun deaths in 2013 (most recent stat available), compared to 37,200 automobile deaths in 2015, and 32,400 in 2014.

Eta, that stat is for the first six months of 2015, adjusted for extrapolation.
