The PURPOSE of a vehicle is to transport people. It provides a service and convenience in our lives. Most of us need one to function in today's society. While the use of cars does result in human deaths, most do not die from INTENTIONAL harm.

The only PURPOSE of a gun is to kill. It is not needed for most of us to function in life and does not provide any valuable service or convenience. Most gun deaths are the result of INTENTIONAL harm.
