And I'd rather there were no road accidents. So, there's that.

Evidence? Or is that one of those internet stats that you made up?
How many dumb-asses leave their guns laying around for their kids to find where (fortunately) no one ends up shot?
The difference between a L-ARGO and a statistic seems to me mainly a function of dumb luck. Humans are too inherently careless.
Evidence? The fucking numbers speak for themselves: the number of gun owners compared to the number of accidents.
The percentage is lower than the percentage of drivers who have vehicle accidents.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
