Guns rights advocates will use it as an excuse. "See, they'll use anything! They're sick!" As if the amount of vehicular killings could ever come close to the amount easily killed by firearms. Such a non sequitur.

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.
