I got the real comparison for ya if you want to trot out the ol car vs. guns argument. Add up the total amount of time the cars in the US are in regular use vs. the amount of time they are used specifically for killing or maiming someone. Now compare that ratio to the amount of time a gun is in use vs. the amount of time they are used for killing or maiming someone. That is the car vs. gun argument. Even with the higher amount of total deaths the amount of time vehicles in the United states spend not killing or maiming is astronomically more than the amount of time they are killing. Where as guns, even if you add up all the range time of both recreational and army training, are used for a far closer ratio of time spent killing or maiming vs. time spent on anything else.
So yes, the car regulation IS working because the amount of time a car spends killing or maiming someone is minuscule compared to regular usage.

The right to bare arms needs to be the same as the right to free travel between states, it needs testing, and proof of proficiency.
