More people die in car accedents in one year than 10 years from GSWs. So really…guns are not the biggest problem in this country as some people would like to think. You are safer in an area where everybody carries a gun than in an area where only criminals carry them. Well, I’d hate to go to a bar in that area. You think drinking and driving is an issue, I’d hate to think what drinking and carrying would be. And I still think that the risk-exposure denominator is much more for cars and medical care than guns - so I’d expect those overall numbers to be higher. Oh - and don’t get me wrong, I’ve been on shooting teams and had a NJ firearm permit - but I’d also say that the risk-benefit ratio to universal gun ownership is alot worse than universal healthcare or universal automotive ownership. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gun-control/18174)._
