Scudrunner, that's an interesting analogy, but it's invalid. The issue is homicide by gun -- not deaths caused by traffic accidents. Apples, not oranges. The question is how to reduce the number of gun homicides. One solution is to have stronger laws controlling buyers, sellers, and types of guns. What those laws ought to be and how they are enforced has to be decided based on facts. Doing nothing means the insanity will continue.
