Your reply begs more questions than it attempts to answer.

The original query(more emphatically stated)was, 'If more of one thing results in more injuries from it, why do gun rights advocates steadfastly refuse to see (or admit) that more guns in circulation results in more injuries from guns?'

Why go through the mental exercise of figuring passenger miles vs guns per owner? It's really not germane. It is, in fact, a red herring intentional or not. The same with the diminishing of suicide as a violent death imposed on loved one who must clean up the mess. Repeat it all you wish, it doesn't make it so. It's just more deflection. SQUIRREL!

But you bring up another interesting question; if improvements in car safety have reduced the injury/death rate per passenger mile why has the gun industry so steadfastly refused to embrace new technoloty or even the development of new technology for gun safety?
