Who both made that accusation and then played said game?
Read the thread my dear.
As for the rest of it, I think the car analogy is pretty interesting.
Being pro-seat belt or pro-speed limits isn't anti-car.
All I think is needed is more regulation. And yes, I'll say it, limits to who can purchase guns. IMO the average citizen really doesn't need a gun, which has the sole purpose of killing things. Just seems like a culture thing in America, and you guys seem over-protective of guns, pieces of metal that exist only to kill (be that animal, human whatever). Oh, and I ain't buying the shit about nailing up a fence, use a fucking hammer. (Predicting the "you can still kill someone with a hammer" argument, please, don't bother).
As Cinj pointed out, stats support both sides of the argument, but I'm of the view point that attempting to solve the gun problem is a hell of a lot better than doing nothing because of your 'second amendment' that was written hundreds of years ago in times completely different to now.
