The reason why more people die in the things you described is because there are a lot more people involved with them. If as many people owned and fired automatic weapons as there are street racers and such I bet you would have alot more gun related deaths. Also, if people were freely able to buy automatic weapons I bet you have a lot more crimes where automatic weapons were used due to the fact there would be more in circulation. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gun-control/18174)._
