Thiggy made some counterarguments above, but a comment from me here. Why not apply the same logic? Because it would be ridiculous to, that's why. Automobile travel serves a very important function to a very large percentage of people. The risks are things that you just have to live with, because of how difficult it would be to go without automobile travel. Gun ownership? Nowhere NEAR the same level of need/utility.
