American gun massacre du jour, 7 dead at Virginia Walmart

So it's not the number of people killed that matters, just the intent? That makes 50k car deaths the cost of doing business, and 10k gun deaths a crime against humanity? I don't agree with your math. Dead is dead. Getting shot through the heart or torn in half in a wreak carries all the same consequences for me and my family. There is absolutely no functional difference.
You accept fifty thousand deaths as acceptable because you're in a hurry, and decry the ten thousand deaths as completely unnecessary, even though the majority of those deaths are self inflicted.
I don't follow the logic here.

Americans take 411 Billion car trips per year.

his “logic” depends on people intellectually unable to review both topics independently ranting along with him. He either can’t comprehend how they don’t conflate, or he’s being dishonest about it. *shrug*

Another Onion story proves prophetic.

There are 8.1 billion bullets sold in the U.S. civilian market each year. Your odds of getting shot by any particular bullet are only 0.0005583%. People need to worry about something else.
