I thought the point that they made in the article about gun deaths being largely intentional, whereas car deaths are mostly accidental was interesting. I would actually think that you would have a better case to be made, if the gun deaths where mostly accidental. Gun laws have shown to have little affect on homicide rates. And the largest portion of gun deaths is suicides.
