So at most ~2300 deaths involving assault weapons (and this is including all except handguns).
Yet in the same year 32,885 died on US highways. Over 14 Times more people killed on the highways.

Why is it the guns that we want to pursue? I don't understand the logic.
How many people drive cars, and how many people use guns?
