Of course it is more important to prevent automobile ownership.  That&#x27;s why the US has DMV offices, administrating automobile ownership and zealously preventing &quot;unqualified&quot; people from driving these vehicles.  Imagine how many more will die if people say &quot;Driving a vehicle isn&#x27;t privilege, it&#x27;s my basic right.&quot;<p>Snark aside, I think we&#x27;re talking about different problems.  The comment I&#x27;m replying to proposed that arming citizens will solve (or mitigate) the problem of terrorism.  I pointed out that the proposed solution will kill orders of magnitude more people than terrorism itself.  Automobiles are a separate problem.
