If everyone had guns and were shooting them off on a daily basis and there were 128,000 gun deaths per year vs 32,000 auto deaths, would that be more acceptable seeing how guns were being used more than autos in that scenario?
Call me "Crazy", but I think efforts to reduce unnecessary/avoidable deaths are laudable ... but that the information proferred ought to be sound.
I'm not saying you said that autos are four times more likely to cause death than autos. What I am saying is that you're comparing apples to oranges, until you compare usage rates.
Simply throwing out raw numbers is useless without context. It's a nuanced point. Hopefully you can see it.
