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?

with a quick search
There are 90 guns for every 100 people in the US.
39% of households in America have guns.

From what I can tell about 95% of American households have at least one automobile.

So just short of 3 times more people own cars and they cause over 14 times more destruction.

Your point??? innocent people can be killed with either of them -- whether driver (shooter), passenger (target), or by-stander (collateral damage)

By averages you are more likely to die on the highways than by guns.
