Also with cars we have set into place a vast number of laws to at least minimise the cost, licensing, registration, car recalls etc.

None of this happens with guns and yet they bring less benefits to a society than pez dispensers as far as I can tell
Wonder how many of those car related deaths are caused by deliberately aiming the car at a person and stomping on the accelerator though.

I don't think they are comparable.
