You clearly aren't paying attention.   Regulations most certainly DO take away peoples freedom.   We don't have speed limit laws to 'avoid reckless drivers'.  We have speed limit laws for local police agencies to make money.   In theory they were to tell drivers a safe speed on the road but that went away a long long time ago.  But to use your driving analogy.  If one semi driver ran down and killed 20 people we wouldn't scream for semis to be banned.   If some sports car drivers drag raced and killed 2-5 people we wouldn't call for sports cars to be banned.   But every time we get a speeding sports car event in the gun world.   There are immediate calls for bans of sports cars (pistol or whatever).   Every time we get a semi accident we get calls for bans of every vehicle on the road but especially large ones (scary black guns).
