What are you talking about? You can compare the two just fine, dead is dead, there really is no ambiguity. 8000 people died by firearms in 2014 as compared to the 32,000 that died by automobile... see?

So using the same logic you use with automobiles... If guns were used more than automobiles a higher death toll would be acceptable?
